Co-general manager John Ricco has said that he wants the Mets to have a short rebuild and get back into contention next year, and with as potent of a free agent class as we have ever seen, this should be no problem. https://metsmerizedonline.com/2018/07/mets-in-lose-lose-situation-with-jacob-degrom.html/ A 2 1/2 month rebuild will vault them to contention? Really? What is this guy smoking?
Very NSFW He was right about the talent being there: Sandberg, Leon Durham and Lee Smith busted out the next year and they won the division for the 1st time since 1945, with a little help from possibly the greatest midseason acquisition's performance in history.

"As you push through to a place carved out of a corn field, where the baseball gods come to play, and you see a man. There he is, standing behind home plate under the dim lights and summer dust, with his entire life ahead of him, gripping a baseball, and holding tightly to a catcher mask. It becomes clear now to you who it is. It's Hank Conger. And then, it dawns on you, your career didn't quite go as well as you thought it did."

It's time to work on your interviews. My interviews? What do I gotta do? You're gonna have to learn your clichés. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: "We gotta play it one day at a time." Got to play... it's pretty boring. 'Course it's boring, that's the point. Write it down. -- Crash Davis
