The New York Mets and Steve Cohen would not be denied.
The Mets have hired Buck Showalter as the franchise's 24th manager, ending a process where he was clearly the favorite to get the job.
Steve Cohen posted to his twitter at 1:44 p.m. that the Mets have officially named the former Yankees skipper the new boss of the Amazin's.
Showalter's record speaks for itself. He is a program builder. Every team he has managed has gone on to success, even after he left the building. He build the Yankees in the early 90s. When he left a team that lost the Wild Card game to Seattle in 1995, he left a team that would go on to win the World Series four times over five years from 1996 to 2000.
He built the Arizona Diamondbacks from the ground up. In 2001, the year after Showalter left, the D-Backs beat the Yankees in the Fall Classic.
The Rangers also saw their fair share of success under Showalter. He took the Orioles to the American League Championship Series in 2014.
Overall, Showalter owns 1,551 career wins as a manager and is a three-time manager of the year.
With Showalter in tow, look for the Mets to become a trendy pick moving forward in 2022.
