Bob Nightengale USA Today had a some Mets rumors in his Sunday Column titled: 'Just an embarrassment:' Major League Baseball managers are grossly underpaid

  • "Matt Klentak, former GM of the Philadelphia Phillies, has emerged as a candidate for the Mets’ GM opening along with former Houston Astros GM James Click, who’s working for the Toronto Blue Jays."
  • Joe Maddon wants to manage again, and is telling friends he’d love to manage the Mets, and is hoping to at least interview for the opening. 
Rising Apple: Hiring Joe Maddon would bring on a game of musical chairs no Mets fan should want any part of. "With Maddon's firing came reports about his unhappiness with Angels GM Perry Minasian who reportedly was giving Maddon orders like which reliever to use when and something as simple as when to pull Mike Trout in a blowout game."
