At this point, even Buck Showalter is wondering why this guy is so obsessed.

"First a conga line of executives didn’t want to come work for Steve Cohen.

Now an ex-Met, and a local kid, named Stephen Matz doesn’t want to take Mr. Cohen’s money.

It is why it is more incumbent than ever for Cohen, and for Billy Eppler, to get it right with the manager.

Buck Showalter isn’t the only candidate out there.

Just the best one."

 

"More incumbent than ever," he says.

Because two months ago, the manager didn't really matter.

I'm almost wishing for it to happen. Buck gets hired and the Mets win 77 games. Joins an immense list of Lupica misfires that he never mentions again.
