Girardi has made enough money. I think to him - he just wants a job. I see a couple of problems. Mets need someone like Girardi or better yet Showalter. Showalter may need the money as he was not a major league player. Both of these guys would not take the job and be told what to do. Brodie may not hire a real manager. He probably wants a lap dog. Also ... why in the world would two GOOD managers want the Mets job????
Brodie signing all his former clients alone this past free agent period should have him fired and never to be a GM again. Its a just a legit excuse for his dismissal and ownership shouldn't be sheepish about it. I think most in the fan base would applaud it.
So how can they even make any deals if Brodie is in place? Its such a messy situation. He signed and brought on some terrible contracts. Awful.
Familia, Lowry (They didn't even need this guy on the roster), Ramos, Cano. I would move Nimmo in a split second. Time to give up on Lagares, he could be a decent 5th outfielder on a contending team defensively. Frazier, Wheeler, Vargas, Smith if you can get a good prospect. Now Rosario is the future CF? Are you kidding me? Its a folly, they could totally restock the cupboard if they moved DeGrom, what is the need for that contract on a team that won't compete for a minimum of 2 years. You get that contract off the payroll, Cespedes comes off after next year, same with Lowrie. Its such a mess up and down that roster. Cano 4 more years. Maybe 2022 with all the prospects they could acquire if they moved Degrom, and all the money they could have for free agency.
