Why, specifically, did his old Yankees team not think about bringing him back? Well, actually they did. But only for a second or two.
Buck Showalter is doing such a boffo job his first few weeks as Mets manager, one wonders why he was relegated to TV duty three straight seasons after being let go by the Orioles. And why, specifically, did his old Yankees team not think about bringing him back?Showalter’s name came up early and briefly at least in one discussion among a couple higher-ups after Aaron Boone’s contract expired and the Yankees were internally discussing their manager position.
It was Brian Cashman’s call, as it should be, and the very longtime GM was fully and understandably behind Boone. Boone has a sterling overall won-loss record , and is considered an outstanding employee. In other words, he’s usually good about taking direction from the front office, which is where the power is now, not just with the Yankees but most teams.Mets’ huge trade with Padres fell through over ‘disagreement amongst powers that be’
Bringing back Showalter after 27 years away would have been a headline grabber, but the Yankees played it safe, surprising no one.
