New Mets president David Stearns needs to hire a manager and, if not Craig Counsell, an interesting candidate could be…veteran manager Joe Maddon?
That’s what the rumors say, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. The former Rays, Cubs, and Angels skipper is apparently keen on the Mets job. The Angels fired Maddon midway through the 2022 season.
The man’s accomplishments and resume speak for themselves. Maddon was an Angels coach for 12 years before getting his first managing job in Tampa Bay in 2006. He took the Rays from regular cellar-dwellers to the World Series in three years.
