so dumb.

Not excited for the season anymore.

I wasn't a Beltran guy  
allstarjim : 1/16/2020 1:14 pm : link
Thought this wasn't the best hire to begin with, but this would have blown over.
Beltran "steps" down  
figgy2989 : 1/16/2020 1:15 pm : link
Yet, players that are still on that Astros rosters go unscathed.

With all the outrage that is out there in the public over this whole thing, away fans better berate the Astros whenever they are on the road this year.

seriously fuck all NY Media always stirring shit up for a story  
Rory : 1/16/2020 1:15 pm : link
and all the scum fans who advocated all over social media for his firing.

Fuck the Wilpons for giving in to impulsive fan perception

fucking embarrassing.

Was legitimately excited about Beltran, I feel sick.
This fucking franchise.  
Beezer : 1/16/2020 1:15 pm : link

Now what?

Can I place this at the feet of the GM/Agent?

Did he not do his due diligence?

They HAD to have known all this was coming.

Just looks SO ridiculous for the ball club.
Get Showalter

We see the outcome with Fred, but from what you read about Cohen, he seems like the kind of guy that would have gotten in front of any microphone to back his guy.

are you fucking kidding?, 30 days from ST what prospective manager like Buck will want to take a job where you were not involved with any of the decisions (coaches, players, etc)

having his name mentioned fucking once in a report? awful

Yes, Yankees fans forced Beltran to step down. That was totally how it went down.

This is not BVV, this is Wilpons and their thin skin

and all the dumb un-educated NYC Mets fans on Mets twitter that run their mouth but didn't even read the report.

giantsfan227B : 1/16/2020 1:27 pm : link
Will the Mets ball up and let Jeff (all about integrity) Wilpon speak about this or will BVW get stuck answering all of the questions.

This is a total circle jerk. I wasn't in favor of hiring Beltran but now that they did felt they should have stuck with him. Beltran's MLB career is now over so I doubt he walked away hat in hand. I am sure he will be getting paid something meaning the Mets in 2020 will be paying 3 managers (2 not to manage team).

How does Joe Girardi sound now?
Fred is gutless and always has been  
moespree : 1/16/2020 1:27 pm : link
Only cares about PR and yet more times than not he makes decisions that give him worse PR than there otherwise would have been.

Now I have no idea what in terms of who the manager will be. There are obvious names out there available but knowing the Mets they'll do something stupid.

Phi is right, I spent the last 2 days attentively listening to MLB radio in fear of what just occurred and the callers calling in from NY were mostly Yankee fans that were "outraged over cheating" which i'm sorry

I find is really fucking hypocritical.

with social media and everyone having the need to voice their bloated opinions as fact and having an owner who cries every time someone criticizes his decision making

Beltran was toast

I would also consider Bam Bam Meulens, whom the Mets hired as Bench Coach. He has a decade coaching under Bruce Bochy.

Are they all in leadership positions? If so, then they should.
What did the Mets do wrong here - please educate me.  
BigBlueNH : 1/16/2020 1:31 pm : link
Ya, it sucks and is typical of the misfortune that has befallen this team. But this story broke AFTER he had been hired. What info did the Mets have at the time of the hire that should have led them to pass over Beltran? I'm not aware of any. And now that the report has been released, what choice do they have but to look elsewhere? This would not have blown over. Most fans are rightfully pissed about what he and his teammates were doing. He would be asked about it all year long and, as far as we know. he doesn't have real good answers. It would be a huge distraction all year, to him and the players.

I hate Wilpon as much as the next Mets fan, but I fail to see how any of this is his fault.

Not dancing on your grave at all. Go get Showalter.
It's obvious  
Pete in MD : 1/16/2020 1:33 pm : link
to me that the MLB wanted to mention all of the involved players in the report but couldn't or was afraid to because of the player's union. Since Beltran is a former player and no longer covered by the union, he was fair game.

Give me Buck and all will be fine.
Embarrassing

you guys are missing it  
Rory : 1/16/2020 1:37 pm : link
we are 30 days from ST.

this team already has been designed internally within the Mets org, coaches players system analytics.

whoever comes to take the reins is going to be an internal candidate, not Buck Showalter
Totally unnecessary move.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 1/16/2020 1:38 pm : link
Unless Beltran was going to miss time due to suspension (which he wasn't), there was no need to make the move. Just have the balls to get in front of the microphones and say, "Carlos understands the rules of the league and the requirements/expectations for being a manager of this franchise."

No need to offer media people a pound of flesh.
this organization is so tiring - agree with all go get Buck (or Dusty)  
Eric on Li : 1/16/2020 1:38 pm : link
like they should have done from the start.

Only this team can bungle things so poorly, all the freaking time.

he was not my first choice at all and I had still had concerns about him as manager, but I feel bad for Beltran in all this. He got a very raw deal with the timing of everything. Had it come out prior he may have been able to disarm it and had it come out after his performance would have been able to give him some cushion (or not).

Instead he gets screwed the worst out of anyone in this mess in losing a job opportunity he may never get again, including the organization that was in full throated endorsement of the sign stealing operation at the highest levels.

This is b.s. so when Hinch’s suspension is over and he is available to coach again which the so called experts say he will. How is ok to then hire Hinch. Stupid. The Wilson’s caved to the media.
