In the next week or so, the New York Mets will make their second managerial decision in the last few months. Carlos Beltrán, who they hired to be their new skipper in early November, stepped down last week. Commissioner Rob Manfred named Beltrán in his report regarding the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.
Nonetheless, the process of selecting a new manager may be witnessing an impasse. This could be due to the fact that the Mets will have a new owner down the line.
According to a source close to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets want to ensure their managerial choice doesn’t end up disappointing Steve Cohen.
