Bruce Bochy being hired by the New York Mets would be a coup
Bruce Bochy would be the best hire for the New York Mets, if he wants the job. He retired from the San Francisco Giants managerial job after the 2019 season but he said that he would be open to managing in the future.
Would managing a team that is in a “win now” mode for a team that he used to play for (in 1982) be what Bochy is looking for? Perhaps.
If the Mets could get the three-time World Series manager and sure-fire future Hall of Famer to manage the team, that would, arguably, be their biggest move of the offseason, topping signing Max Scherzer.
Some other candidates could include former Angels manager Mike Scioscia, former Blue Jays manager (and former Mets player and former Mets minor league manager) John Gibbons, Carlos Beltran (who the Mets hired for 2020 before firing him due to the Astros cheating scandal, and Astros bench coach Joe Espada, who has interviewed with the Angels, Yankees, and other places for their managerial jobs as well.
The New York Mets have a lot of good options for a manager but they will have to make a good enough pick to win the World Series for the first time in over 35 years.
