Mickey Callaway responds to Mets firing with ‘disappointment,’ hope

Mickey Callaway is disappointed, but not bitter.

A day after he was fired as Mets manager, following a seesaw season, Callaway released a statement Friday thanking the organization for the opportunity he received and wished the club future success.

“While I am disappointed by the decision to move on, I am grateful to have been part of such a storied franchise,” Callaway said. “I am thankful for the hard work and support of my coaching staff, the players and all of those working behind the scenes in roles that made our jobs and lives easier.
