Jeff Wilpon And Rob Manfred Shouldn’t Speak
This is going to come across as extremely hypocritical, but neither Jeff Wilpon or Rob Manfred should be allowed to speak ever again.
Wilpon did an interview with Steve Serby of the New York Post, and he gave little to no insight in things he’s done to plague the team, and he wasn’t pressed on anything. But hey, he tells us Mets fans are nice and supportive of him.
Manfred did an interview with Karl Ravech of ESPN, and in that interview he confirmed everyone’s worst suspicions that he’s a feckless mouthpiece for the owners, and at the end of the day, he’s overmatched for this job.
Yes, people like Wilpon and Manfred should have to explain themselves and their consistently poor and suspect decision making. They didn’t do it now, and really, they just raise more questions about their complete inability to lead. That’s probably why MLB Network had the foresight to show Bull Durham instead of airing this interview. Hopefully, interviews like this would be a signal these two are unfit to lead.
Sadly, it won’t, and these interviews only continue to prove Mets fans are in the worst of hands, and really, nothing is going to change anytime soon.
I totally agree. How do idiots like these two get as far as they do? Obviously nepotism and cronyism are alive and well in MLB.
Additionally. You’re Robby Cano, the GMs guy, who is supposed to be a leader and you dont show up in camp until the night before the reporting deadline? I’m not just disappointed in him I’m back to where I started on him. Hes a laggard and not the kind of leader this team needs.
I’m sure he has a million BS reasons. But I have a prediction. If you think last year was bad, just wait till you see this year. Anyone here old enough to remember the end of George Foster? If he gets off badly that’s where this thing is going.
Another Bonilla in the making…not to forget Lowerie…I can see it already..Lowerie and Cano…damn GM.
Lowerie shows up in a leg cast..Cano arrives the night before…that shows veteran team spirit…what an example.
