Mets owner Steve Cohen said the decision to change managers wasn’t a reflection on Buck Showalter for the team’s disappointing season.
Potential Mets manager candidates after Buck Showalter ousterThat announcement came before the Mets played their season-finale against the Phillies.
“When you bring in a president of baseball ops, they are entitled to bring in their own people,” Cohen said after the Mets lost 9-1 to the Phillies at Citi Field. “I wasn’t sure if David was going to join us, and finally he joined us and it became clear he wanted to go in a different direction and that is certainly his right. I gave him that right.”
Showalter, who had one year remaining on his contract, presided over a team with a record $364 million payroll that was partially disbanded at the trade deadline because of disappointing performance.Showalter gathered players in his office before Sunday’s game to tell them he wouldn’t be returning.
“There was no conversations [with Cohen] about it,” said Lindor, who indicated he was caught off guard by Showalter’s firing. “That’s their job. I am here to play baseball. … I love [Showalter] and I don’t want him to go anywhere.
