Would Mets Hire Stan Kasten? - NYTimes →
sportsnetny:
An intriguing announcement was made in Washington when the Nationals said that Stan Kasten, their team president, would be stepping down at the end of the season, with no mention of his future plans. Would the Mets consider making a really bold move by asking Kasten to join the club as an overseer of the baseball department, a president of baseball operations who would pick a...
Isiah, Terry and Omar
With the season drawing towards its close, the chatter regarding the future of Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya is heating up. Manuel, it seems, is a goner for sure while Minaya’s fate is less certain. Change - in some form - seems inevitable within the front office, but what sort of change exactly remains unclear.
Matt Cerrone has enumerated the possibilities many times on Mets Blog. One of...

Joe Torre will not be a candidate to become general manager of the Mets, but the team is open to considering him later this offseason for a front office position, and even as manager, according to baseball officials with knowledge of the Mets’ thinking.
Whether Torre, who managed the Mets from 1977-1981, rejoins the organization will be contingent on the next front office hire,...

– RA Dickey.
What a fantastic man.
(via lauramets)
R.A. Dickey was a punchline in March.
Today, he’s maybe the most memorable, dominating, and interesting player to wear a Mets uniform this season.

Anonymous asked: In regards to the comment about the lack of female GMs & managers in baseball, all I have to say is Fuck You. I don't care if you meant it "tongue & cheek." Its comments like that lands real female fans with the horrible stereotype that exists today. Nobody ever questions why a guy like the sport when he says he's a baseball fan. We get enough crap as it is. We...

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: So Long, Frenchy
The Good
Who even cares who he was traded for (Joaquin Arias by the way)? Jeff Francoeur was a guy who was… let’s say, marketable… so that he was forced into the lineup most days to go a typical 0-4 with 2 strikeouts. I hope he moved a ton of Metro PCS phones because the guy was hitting .236 with an OBP of .293 in a lineup that already strikes out way too much. He’s a...
