New York Mets: 3 Possible Replacements for Mickey Callaway

The time has come. Mickey Callaway has overstayed his welcome in Flushing. The New York Mets should be firing Callaway as manager within the next couple days.

In their last two series, the New York Mets have struggled immensely. If it was the inconsistency of the bullpen, the lack of offensive production, or a combination of everything in between, the team is underperforming and not getting it done.

They lost two out of three against the struggling Washington Nationals and then went on to get swept by the Miami Marlins, getting shut out twice.

Mickey Callaway and the Mets were supposed to use those series as turning points in their season. They were supposed to be easy wins that devastatingly turned out to be losses, falling below .500.

This was supposed to be a successful season for General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen and the New York Mets. Hope is dwindling away as the Mets are only 21-25 and stuck in third place in the National League East.

Yes, Robinson Cano has been a complete disappointment. His batting average is at a career-time low, and he has displayed little power, only having three home runs three weeks into May. Their ace Jacob deGrom has an ERA of 3.98. He has been disappointing this season, but Callaway has been a consistent cause to most of the Mets’ issues this season.

Here are three possible candidates to replace Mickey Callaway if the Mets were to relieve him of his duties.
