Mike Puma NY Post: Mets’ Buck Showalter, Billy Eppler butted heads over Daniel Vogelbach’s playing time. "...the 30-year-old slumped early in the season and manager Buck Showalter, according to a source, met resistance from general manager Billy Eppler at various points when trying to employ options other than Vogelbach at DH against right-handed pitching...Showalter was told he had to play Vogelbach, the source said...[after the trade deadline]...Not only was Vogelbach still on the team, but the source indicated the manager was told by Eppler to keep him in the starting lineup."
Mike Puma NY Post: Mets should value leadership, experience in managerial search.
NY Post: Buck Showalter gets one last win with Mets from suspended Marlins game. "The New York Mets were awarded a 1-0 win over the Marlins in the game suspended by rain on Sept. 28, with Miami’s two-run rally in the ninth voided because the inning was not completed...Hartwig gets a win, raising his record to 5-2."
Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Ranking Mets' top five priorities for 2023-24 offseason, including rebuilding the rotation. Danny has #5: Determine if now is the time for a big trade; #4: 4. Decide what the plan for the Baby Mets is. #3: Add a legitimate designated hitter. #2: Seriously bolster the bullpen. #1: Rebuild the starting rotation.
