Albert Pujols, Future Mets Manager?

[Frayed Knot]

The biggest problem is being named as a deified Met legend in the first place.

Seven seasons: the first one was lousy, the final one was cut short, two others in the middle were curtailed by injuries to where they don't even add up to one full year. That leaves three full-(ish) years, one great, two very good.

But, then again, the definition of legend gets a little fuzzy at times.

I, too, have let friends know I'd very much want the Mets manager job.

Got my vote, Edgy😀. I'd prefer you replace Boy Genuis though.

Former Cubs manager (2020 through 2023) David Ross has expressed an interest in the Mets job, according to SNY.

SNY isn't reporting my interest, though.

Assholes.

Tell them your name is David Ross.

Yeah, I'm not buying Beltran as a deity either. I wonder how many people are?
