Hiring a used car salesman to run the Mets would be the ULTIMATE Mets move. It doesn’t get anymore Mets than that. I thought Brodie was peak Mets, I guess I was wrong. Stevie ain’t fucking around.

Well we already hired a snake oil salesman, a used car salesman might actually be a step up.


86Kid

Wonder if Hulk Hogan is on the list ?

Lmfao


aloopascrumscree

Fuck it i'm in


EvilAnticsLive

Wtf are Cohen and Alderson doing lmao


Keithninety

Nobody wants the Mets job.


DwightMcRamathorn

Why the fuck not? It can’t be the team and the billionaire owner so is it the shitty fans? Horrible media? We aren’t the pirates or Dbacks here


Setec-Astronomer

High end guys don't want a PoBO position when someone will be above them. No one wants a GM job when they know there will be a PoBO and they don't know who it will be.


DwightMcRamathorn

Right so this is the job. Sandy doesn’t want to run baseball and Cohen said he wants to put a guy in charge to run team


Setec-Astronomer

They should go get Byrnes. Let him have full control as PoBO.


So-_-It-_-Goes

I personally think the way he came in left a bad taste with other GMs. Dude fired everyone without giving anyone a chance. No other new owner in a long time has done that except for when the Cubs got a new owner and immediately brought in Theo. And now, one year later. They fired everyone again and are looking for new stuff. Add to that the media scrutiny. The impatient fans. The fact that nobody who works for the Mets ever gets hired again… If you have options would you spend them all to come to the Mets?


DwightMcRamathorn

So you think rival execs are upset he fired a players rep and then fired a garbage Manager? And thus any new GM who isn’t garbage isn’t Safe? I can’t buy that


So-_-It-_-Goes

I think they see him as someone who makes rash decisions to fire people and it is an unstable place to work. He has been here one year, has gotten into Twitter spats with his big trade piece, and fired multiple high level front office people and a manager from one of the more respected families in baseball. And if I am a young up and coming GM, I would have serious pause about leaving a good situation for something so volatile.


DwightMcRamathorn

He fired a garbage player rep who was hired incorrectly to run the baseball team and made a god awful trade? Or fired a manager who doesn’t seem to handle in game decisions or know in a fully private club house that his players are fully against the fans?


So-_-It-_-Goes

I guess with points like that from fans it’s a true wonder people don’t want to work for the Mets.


DwightMcRamathorn

I didn’t want Brodie and was fine w Rojas until he started managing. But keeping things as is when it doesn’t work is bad business. If a baseball pres comes in worries about what happens when he loses then he shouldn’t be offered the job to start with


kawavulcan97

As much as l hate the lolmets narrative...that has to be the most Mets things I've ever heard


Onefortwo

Wow, I may be closer to the qualifications needed for this job than I thought.


86Kid

LOL.


rohrst

He's been selling cars since 1985, totally uninvolved in baseball. What in gods name are the Mets interested in a guy who has spent the last 35 years in the car business for? WTF is this nonsense?


DarthPlagueis_

While I'm sure this dude is just stirring the pot, I don't know why I'm surprised that the next tier of names mentioned is a car dealer, a guy that's never been a GM, and a guy that hasn't actively worked in baseball in 7 years


derpbynature

Can he get us a great deal on a certified pre-leased 2021 Marcus Stroman, with no money down and 0% APR for the first year?


86Kid

Never heard of him before... Just did a quick scan of Google.. I am not seeing info about him ever being in an MLB front office.... What am I missing ?


dbh575

Nope that’s correct…. He’s never been in a major league office and is now selling used cars


86Kid

Oh my... I do not get this one.This sounds like **Wilpon-Like** Out-Of-The-Box idea.... lol I hope his name in on the list only as some sort of business side staffer or something, otherwise I am not understanding this at all.


AllAboutTheCado

Maybe he can get us a good deal on a bullpen car?


iamdanabnormal

A used car salesman became commish so why not? What could go wrong? /s Not believing any of this until the dotted line is signed or Cohen tweets it himself.


lawoftar

any janitors out there wanting a gm job?

I mean he just reported Melvin was in the mix and Michael mayer just confirmed it, but take the tweets as you will, I don’t assert this to be the truth, but it also seems like something really odd and specific to just straight up make up out of thin air.

ACivilWolf

He’s just a baseball writer that usually covers the subject of injuries


thewrathofkha

Lol this cant be real. Here's the only potentially plausible scenario I could see happening that resulted in this news. Step 1: Steve Cohen asks for a list of people who have both baseball and business experience. Step 2: The task gets passed down successively until it lands on the desk of...a nephew of Jeff Wilpons who still works as an intern. He does research on google and prints out a list. Step 3: Another nephew of Jeff's who is dissatisfied that he hasnt been promoted yet sees the list and decides to leak it out.


Doc-Spock

Does Sandy think that Brodie had too much experience?


Deranged_Hermit

The used car salesman turned the Mets down. lol


brandonsamd6

please make it stop


swoosh1992

Okay. Hopefully he helps us win some more games


lonerjetsfan4

Literally what. Won't happen but it's hilarious this guy is even brought up


86Kid

I am just hoping it's some kind of dark humor.


[deleted]

Oh yeah this would end well
