I can almost guarantee it was because Counsell wanted to stay close to home. The Mets spent something like $343m on payroll last year - $70m more than the next highest team. I don't think another $5 million a year for a manager is outside their budget.
-
Maybe it's "Hey you need to be away from the team for a few weeks, buddy." A suspension that isn't a suspension.
-
I could see your point if the article was in some way biased in favor of the Cubs.
-
this might blow your minds but... a) you can be a fan of more than one team and 2) you can be a fan of a team and still objectively write about a rival team.
-
True. But some people also don't want to celebrate the good things....like at all.
-
I think you could go through the career of any manager in the history of baseball and cherry-pick several instances where a choice backfired. It's a lot harder to find the instances where a gamble paid off because, well, we don't remember the good stuff as readily as we remember the bad stuff.

The whole Connor Stallions Michigan saga is going to make a hilarious movie someday. It keeps getting weirder and funnier every day:
-
He seems like kind of a quiet dude. It's very possible he was seething internally about this, that, or the other thing and never said a word to the GM or more likely the owner.
-
I think it's simply because the rival is 90 miles from home.

Rickie Weeks! -
yes $8m. My mistake. But the amount does not matter unless it changes how they do business. To a team like Milwaukee? Maybe it keeps them from making a particular trade. To a team like the Cubs? Business as usual.
-
again, paying him $5m a year doesn't matter to the Cubs if it is not impacting their roster. The only way his salary matters is if it prevents them from signing a player.
-
unless it prevents them from making a player move (which it won't) then the money is irrelevant
-
dang. that was like a 78 possession game. crazy fast pace for UW
-
"drink your Ovaltine"?
-
Wait, you mean the team that traded away every piece from it's World Series title squad?
-
Translation: He wouldn't take the hometown discount.

There's a different thread dedicated to the theory that Mark A might want to sell the team. Let's keep this one about potential managerial candidates. -
Welcome to the board!
-
This is the second time in recent memory the Cubs have fired a guy who didn't expect to get fired. They canned Rick Renteria after one season when Maddon became available
-
Unlike a player, he won't get worse at the end of the deal and there is no injury risk. You pretty much know what you're getting from day 1 to the end of the contract. Guess we will see if he's a dime a dozen. My hunch is that he is not.
-
I don't think he would sabotage the team.
