Counsell was said Sunday night to be talking to “multiple” teams, including the Mets, with a decision expected as early as Monday but almost surely in the next day or two.
Superstar Japanese pitcher sets record in insane 138-pitch start as MLB free agency loomsSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mets decisionmakers arrive here at the MLB general managers’ meetings Monday, and the hope of everyone connected to the team — and presumably almost anyone with a baseball bent within the borough of Queens — remains that free agent managing star Craig Counsell signs up with the team very soon.
The Mets have enough question marks off their shockingly disappointing 75-87 season, including half the bullpen and three-fifths of the rotation. They certainly don’t need to add manager to that list. Counsell could also choose to go to at least Cleveland, which showed its willingness to pay for a star manager when the Guardians employed two-time world champion Tito Francona the past nine years. But word is, the Guardians are realistic here and understand they are likely a long shot in the race between the bond and convenience of Milwaukee and the Mets’ formidable tag team of Stearns and deep-pocketed team owner Steve Cohen.
Mendoza is very popular on the interview circuit, but his top job is his current one. I’m going to assume all these teams can’t be wrong, and he has serious potential. But he has never managed a game at the big-league level, much less the highest-priced team in the bigs in an unforgiving city.
