Been seeing some traction on this idea, today floated by Lupica.
I worry a little a bit about a laid back 70 year old manager..and others worry about Wally…perhaps this combination makes sense. It sure would play well in the media.
It is something to think about, though, in the short run, Torre coming back to manage the Mets 30 years after he did that the first time. Backman sitting next to him the way Zimmy used to. There’s no inside track on this, believe me. No inside information.
via Fred and Jeff Wilpon must decide about New York Mets GM Omar Minaya before talking next manager.
Joe, you’ll have to reclaim #9. That’s your Mets number anyway. We already have a 6.
