The New York Mets announced today that they have fired Manager Mickey Callaway. Callway was the manager for the last two seasons with a record of 163-161, but missed the playoffs in both years. He was hired on October 23, 2017 after he was previously the Cleveland Indians pitching coach for five seasons. Mickey did a fine job this year of getting the team together after a difficult first half and was able to get them to rally in the second half with a record of 46-20. He always handled himself with class to the the media and fans and represented the organization well. I wish him well in his future endeavors and I hope he gets another job as a pitching coach or another shot to manage elsewhere.
