NY Mets: Tony La Russa’s return worked, why not Buck Showalter?

We’re already taking measurements of Luis Rojas’ office and the 2021 season isn’t even over. The New York Mets skipper is a candidate to lose his job this winter for a variety of reasons. One name mentioned regularly as a possible replacement for him is Buck Showalter.

When I first process the idea of the Mets firing Rojas and hiring Showalter I cringe.
