New York Mets owner Steve Cohen wasn’t going to leave it to the media to make the big splash. This was his scoop — Buck Showalter is the next Mets manager. He took to his favorite social media platform, Twitter, to announce the hire:

Forgive the baseball cliché, but this is a home-run hire for the Mets.
