Another Fan Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 I have to admit I do feel bad for him. Especially when such reputable characters (sneeze Brodie) still remain
SinceThe70s Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Brodie coming right out and saying Diaz and Thor won't be traded. Could just be posturing. https://nypost.com/2019/10/03/mets-wont-trade-edwin-diaz-or-noah-syndergaard-brodie-van-wagenen/

I bet Brodie will at least listen to offers. As far as Diaz is concerned, maybe a year in NY will have conditioned him to the atmosphere.
Rocket94 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Just throwing this out there. There is a good article in today's NY Post about Joe Girardi. "Joe Girardi doing his homework on the NY Mets" Girardi has a real chance of being the Amazins new manager. Edited October 5, 2019 by Rocket94

I suppose I could get over it like I did with Granderson. On the other hand, Willie Randolph was always a Yankeee managing the Mets to me.

He would have to be more open with Brodie and Jeff for it to work. 1

Much like they'd never give Wally Backman a chance. Well assuming he somewhat had his head on straight haha. I have a feeling it's going to be Joe McEwing. I liked him as a player but he's "the safe choice". A guy Brodie could push around some.

I mean seriously Minnesota can you for once in your life beat this team! Expand Thanks for the info. I'd have no problem bringing in Super Joe, but if I had my choice I'd go with Joe Maddon. Partly because I think he's a good manager but mostly because I think he'd keep things interesting. 1
Golden Goat Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Maddon has strong ties to the Angels management and my guess is Girardi goes to the Cubs. Not one other candidate rumored thus far excites me. For me, it comes down to this: Did BVW and co. begin making decisions for Callaway because they lost faith in him, or because they're control freaks? If it's the former, a big-name manager could work. If it's the latter, they'll probably want a lackey, and I can't imagine that being appealing to any quality, seasoned candidates.

Expand It looks like Girardi and Showalter are out as well. These guys are too set in their ways to change now. Somewhere, right now, a lackey is about to be the Mets manager and he doesn't know it yet. 2
Golden Goat Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Why not our AAA coach, Tony DeFrancesco? He'd be cheap, gets along well with management (such that it is) and has quite a resume at the minor league level. Given that most of our talent is young, I think this could be a fit, and I wouldn't hate it. Edited October 7, 2019 by Golden Goat
