So so so much going on today….thanks to Tom for sending over this story from SI which suggests Wally Backman may get a minor league job with the Mets.
The team now appears willing to give scrappy fan favorite Wally Backman a second chance to return to baseball in a minor-league job. Backman has technically not been given a new position yet, but he’s been told they’d like to hire him and have invited him for an interview that is expected to be a formality.
How about handing him AAA as they once did a manager-in-waiting named Davey Johnson.
Which reminds me…wanna feel old? Remember 20 seasons ago when Bud Harrelson managed the team?
