There are Mets fans on social media who are pissed because they whiffed on Counsell and Washington, and settled for a Yankees bench coach who has never managed.
It does seem like an odd pivot from Buck Showalter.
I can't imagine that Showalter would accept an assistant GM position, especially in a situation as unstable as this one. The GM and the owner may not be in the picture within a year or two.
The Braves thought enough of him to bring him into the organization. That isn't a club who just brings in anybody. If there were valid issues, he wouldn't have been on the staff.
You're a rebel, Jason.
I am intrigued by Victor Rojas' suggestion of Ron Washington. He relates well to players, they seem to accept his suggestions, and he has unfinished business after the way that things ended at Texas.
After all, what could be better for combating an asthma attack than smoke?
And just in case you're wondering, your five-year-old is out of luck. It's right on the label.
I understand people wanting to replace Ohtani's production, at least to the degree that is possible. However. those wanting to sign a DH are not taking into account the need to give Rendon and Trout days off from playing in the field. If we sign someone to do nothing but DH, then they are entirely out of the lineup when they're not starting.
