The last three days Dino Costa of Mad Dog Radio has stated that he believes Wally Backman will be the next manager of the Mets. Costa said this information is coming from “impeccable sources.” I reached out to Costa tonight who told me he stands by his statements on the radio and does not believe reports of Bob Melvin getting the job are accurate.

Dino Costa: Backman Will Be Mets Manager

New York Baseball Digest

(via sportsnetny) —Last Winter, while filling in for Chris Russo, Costa declared that a source he trusted completely had told him that the Mets & Matt Holliday were a “done deal”. Not even 60 minutes later Mike Francesa announced(correctly) that the Mets had signed Jason Bay. When Costa says he has Mets info, he is as credible as I was when saying I believed Clint Hurdle would be the next Mets manager(within 24 hours of that brilliant moment the Pirates hired him). In other words…not credible at all. The Mets will do what they seem to love to do as of late: Someone at the Wilpon compound will place a call to the Sports Pope telling him who they have chosen as the new manager of the Mets. In turn he’ll spend early Monday afternoon on the ‘Fan telling us what a “little birdie” told him. (via winstonwolfe)
