he has but.. he's 23 in December in the SAL with a 96 wRC+ striking out a ton. He's been very disappointing. A 3rd round college player shouldn't be struggling at 22/23 in the SAL.
Until he can get lefties out with greater consistency he is a bullpen arm at best
I didn't have much luck with some quick google work, but is there anyone in TB that you think could be a good fit for Mets GM? Seems like these guys have done more with less and have managed to be respectable in the AL East. They are certainly willing to think outside the box too.
It’s scary, some still swear by him and are waiting for him to go go all Tommy Pham. I don’t know if they’re trying to protect their job/reputation - but they still rave about how he barrels it up blah blah blah. Bad news for a five o clock hitter is major league games start later than mi or league games...

I suspect they stay in house but the top guy out there is probably Jason McLeod who is Theo's right hand man. A lot of people like Doug Harris from the Nats (he too had cancer), Dan Kantrovitz from the A's is highly thought of. I still would love to make a run at Oppenheimer. A guy who might fit what you are looking for is Matt Arnold. He's with the Brewers but came up with TB and finally wunderkind Chaim Bloom who went to Yale, works for TB and I think is still like 35 lol
Think about it, he can't go to Jeff Wilpon and say that things are a mess, or go in there and starting blaming Alderson for things. If that was the case, ownership would just shitcan everyone and bring in an entirely new front office.
Ricco doesn't want to get fired and start applying for asst GM jobs elsewhere. He's been here for a while and a chance to be the GM of the Mets is something he's likely wanted for a while.
His only hope is that the team is able to play better in the second half. If the team finishes something like 41-35, he can go to ownership and say "see, we've just been unlucky with injuries! give me one offseason and we can be back in the mix playing meaningful games in september next year." That's his path forward to getting the job and keeping the status quo.
