Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

These are guys that know how to kind of bring up that talent in a way that makes sense.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

That is exponentially more difficult in New York, where you are not insulated from the slings and arrows with just like, oh, he's just a kid.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

It's just like, well, your kid is hitting like a buck 25, so we don't care.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

So that's one of those things.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

It's going to be interesting.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

I

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

I don't necessarily know how long of a leash.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

You know, we talk about David Stearns.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

I think David Stearns is a way longer leash than Carlos Mendoza has.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

And I don't necessarily know that that's fair.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

So that's going to be something, because while Carlos Mendoza I'm sure had a hand in picking his coaching staff, I don't necessarily think he had a hand in firing his old coaching staff or the entirety of it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

Because these were all people that they actually meshed pretty well, even though Mendoza actually did inherit a bunch of these guys.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

So this is going to be a situation where the first few months, a lot of this is going to fall on Carlos Mendoza.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

And then a lot of it's going to fall on.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

I know Justin Willard, he's very much like a Jeremy Hefner type.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

So there's a lot of similarities there in terms of guys who are like into analytics.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

So that might work out well.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

And then, yeah, you got Jeff Albert, who's the director of player development.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

All these guys, you have all these guys.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Laura Albanese Discusses What's Next For The Mets After Losing Edwin Diaz And Pete Alonso

And that is the one thing that I have heard is that the Mets have this like preponderance of coaches.
