That's fair and I won't argue. If you hire him and pass up all over the other qualified candidates you should at least stand by him and your decision. If you were going to toss him, then don't hire him and bring in one of the Joe's.

Having him quit was a giant mistake and will hurt the team badly
What? Why? He hasn't managed then in any capacity.

oh I don’t think he quit.

dude probably wanted to ride this shyt out until the Cora punishment/ban overshadowed everything. what he didn’t realize is that there was never going to be just one fall guy. Not when he was was one of the main dudes putting the cheating in place.

we know how baseball, the writers and these old school fans feel about protecting the game/it’s history. They weren’t giving Beltran a slide. He’s not some Phil Jackson level coach/manager with an established resume.

it’s every man for himself now since these dudes are getting picked off one by one. MLBPA will do what it can for the players (when it comes to dealing with the league) but it can’t protect them once they’re one the road. The fans will show them what the deal really is

Mets fire Beltran: MeTs ArE StOoPiD

You see it, the media just like to write, " The Mets are not competent" articles over and over no matter what they do. The only thing that helps your media perception is being a consistent winner. Make that the priority, although easier said than done.

We are a week away from spring training and we have no manager. I'm sure he already started meeting and talking with players. All that progress now rolls back to 0 and there's a pretty good chance spring training starts with no manager.

Plus all the good candidates we all wanted are employed elsewhere and we are gonna be stuck with a lame duck

The fact the Mets are now wrapped up in his mess they had nothing to do with is just typical for this franchise...

:mjlol:

And we’re the only ones that don't at least have a championship to show for it...

Well I was wrong.

Might as well promote Henley.

Mets fukkery early this year.

:heh:

Ironic considering the last time it was this early was when Beltran got knee surgery mid January without team knowledge.

breh they chose this shyt.

you had dudes like Girardi, Ron Washington, Dusty and Buck with no jobs back then and they still went with Beltran thinking they could pull a Boone.

Enjoy being sub-NY Liberty status for 10-15 more years brehs

Henley would be by pick as well. Read somewhere he’s going to the Sox tho. Don’t know if that’s true tho.

Exactly why they should have stood by him. Media hit job that almost everyone on Mets Twitter called out.
