Wally Backman opens up about departure from Mets organization
Backman was a manager for the Mets in the minors since 2010. But, it’s no secret that the former Met wanted to be a manager in the majors. Backman appeared on Mike Francesa’s show on WFAN this afternoon.
What did we find out in this interview? A whole lot. I unfortunately didn’t listen to it live as I was at work, but I’d like to thank Brian Monzo of WFAN for live tweeting everything. If you haven’t checked his tweets out yet, please do.
Anyways, now, what did we find out?
Well, Backman left on his own free will because he felt as though there weren’t any opportunities for him in Flushing in the future.
