| 2019-10-21 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Who would you hire to be the next Mets manager? Can you choose one of the known candidates and possibly a wild card if you had another candidate in mind?
(someguynamedkenn from Central NJ) | So of the announced second round of interviews (Girardi, Bogar, Beltran, Perez) I think Girardi makes the most sense for the team as currently comprised. It also wins the back pages for a few days, which is always a consideration for the Mets. I don't know that they will pay him, or that he will pick that job over others he's interviewed for. The earliest and most consistent heat has been around Beltran though, and he checks all of the above boxes, plus would likely cost less. Reading between the lines, Jeff Wilpon seems to favor Eduardo Perez, who I like personally, but have no idea how he works as a major league manager. Although that is true of everyone they talked to other than Girardi. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2018-07-16 19:00:00 (link to chat) | On scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the highest level of anxiety), how much should I worry about the announcement today by Jacon DeGrom's agent that the Mets should trade him if they don't want to sign him to an extension? I could see Jeff Wilpon really mishandling this situation.
(wileecoyote121 from Mamaroneck, NY) | At least an 8. The Mets have no clear decision-making authority right now, and someone has to make this call. I don't know if the type of return that warrants a deGrom trade is out there, although his remaining control and willingness to extend *should* help the return significantly.
Another issue here is that I can see the Mets taking "name" returns over the best prospects. Ownership has a bad habit of being more concerned with what they can sell on the backpages than what they're actually getting in real prospect value, and you're already hearing it with talk of "immediate major league impact" over the best prospects.
