For the record, I think Melvin will be the manager and Hojo will also be fired. I don't think Manuel nor Hojo are the problem, but the Mets (Wilpons and Omar) see their season and attendance for the next two months in serious jeopardy, and may be forced to make a drastic change.
This may be a turbulent 24-48 hours for the Mets organization....
I see the staff staying until the end of the year. If they don't make the playoffs, then they will clean house, Omar included. I just don't see a mid-season change. What would be the point? Firing Manuel won't fix the attendance. MAYBE they fire a coach (HoJo or somebody) as a warning at most. They got themselves into this mess and they are the ones (players) who are going to have to battle out of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd if I were a fly on the wall in the Mets front office, I am sure I would hear something like "we are in striking distance of the wild card with a hot streak". I still think they think they have a shot at this thing. And who knows, they might, but not getting shut out once every other game or so.
