I agree Task. Yes, most Mets fans including me were optimistic about Counsel but it benefitted the Mets to get Mendoza instead. He knows the New York market and was in the Yankees organization that’s huge.

He wasnt the sexy name but Strearns went with what was best.

I dont recall, was an offer ever made by the Mets to Counsel?

Counsell made a quick decision to join the Cubs. Mets didn’t get a chance I believe.

Yeah. I dont remember the details but it was quick.

The Mets are better of with Mendoza. He seems to fly under the radar and just do his job.
