This week the New York Mets named a new general manager. Now, Billy Eppler needs to jump into the deep end of the pool and hire himself a bunch of people and make a strong effort to sign players to improve his on-field product.
One of the more important hires he needs to make — perhaps the most important — is his manager.
As we have noted in the past, the Mets do have one issue they should consider when hiring a manager: diversity.
The previous Mets leadership team included Omar, Ruben Amaro, Jared Banner, Jessica Mendoza, Marlon Anderson, Luis Rojas, Chili Davis, Ricky Bones.
