“Everything has to be about the Mets,” Showalder said during an introductory Zoom press conference on Tuesday, announcing his appointment as manager. “It has to be, with the fans, to have a commission to keep the city – people who actually live and die in everything you do outside. It’s a huge responsibility and some people run away from it.
The 65-year-old Showalter concluded by praising owner Steve Cohen, team captain Sandy Alderson and general manager Billy Effler for honoring players like Starling Mart ே and Eduardo Escobar, who were acquired this off-season. Club house of the season. Schwolder found himself in the middle, realizing that player names shouldn’t be discussed under the MLB blocking rules.
“The really fascinating thing for me is that watching Billy, Sandy and Steve is the kind of person they’ve added to the season and who have spent sometimes, sometimes your best addition,” Showalder said. “Look at Mars and Eduardo, obviously I can’t name them, so I’m quiet. I like how they behaved. [offseason]. Whoever added would have been interested in me too.
The biggest question facing the former manager of Yankees, Diamondboxes, Rangers and Orioles is the influx of information he receives from the game of new age baseball and an analytical field that has greatly increased under Cohen’s leadership.
Schwolder said he did not want to give an advantage to the enemy It will accept information and technology. He said he would resume his tenure with the Orioles (which ends in 2018) if he had the budget team for such a thorough effort.
“If anyone thinks I’m going to a hotel or home [accept] We may be defeated because someone else has used or analyzed better or better information than ours and you don’t know me well, ”Showalder said. I won’t talk about it – we’ll show you. “

Espada. Other finalists for the position. Alderson has stated that he would like to hire Showalter after the 1995 season as the Auckland GM, but Showalter has opted for the extended diamond packages.
Schwolder, according to Alderson, came out “as close to 10 out of 10 as possible” because the Mets rated candidates for the position.
“You won’t last as long as the dollar is there, and you won’t be interested in a person who’s been out of the game for three years, unless that person is changed, if that person isn’t interested, if that person is not in. able to develop while playing, ”Alderson said. “These problems and a lot of interesting analytics arguments, but what Buck has done in the past has been based on the information at his disposal and fits in with the way the game has changed. Over time, he becomes more motivated and motivated by working in New York. “
The Mets have lost the playoffs for the past five seasons and have finished with a record of losing four. Showalter receives a core composed of Jacob Dicrom, Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. Three-time Sai Young Award winner Max Scherzer added Rotate.

Schwolder also acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat the Mets.
“It’s not about wearing headphones and saying, ‘I don’t want to hear that,’” Schwolder said. “It exists, but there is no such place [this] When you got it right. If you understand this correctly, many people live and die from what you do every day, so there is a responsibility for it, and it’s not for everyone. We will try to understand who this is for, who owns it and who doesn’t.
