On the heels of Buck Showalter's firing, the New York Mets may have zeroed in on their top choice to take over as manager for the 2024 season.
Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, people around MLB think the Mets have a "reasonable chance" to hire Craig Counsell.
Counsell just wrapped up his ninth year as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. The 53-year-old is set to become a free agent after his three-year deal signed in January 2020 expires at the end of this season.
The Brewers and Counsell had extension talks throughout the season, but the two sides were unable to come to terms on an agreement.
