The Chicago Cubs shocked the baseball world when they came out of left field to nab Craig Counsell to become their new manager. The Mets in turn pivoted and hired their fallback option, Carlos Mendoza.
Are the Mets better off without Counsell, knowing that he probably never wanted to come to New York in the first place?
Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the fallout Counsell's decision and why Mendoza is a solid fit to take the position to work alongside David Stearns in this new era of Mets baseball.
Also, Adam Ottavino declined his player option. How much will the bullpen feel his loss in 2024?
