“I wanted David to have a clean slate and that meant me stepping down. I hope for nothing but the best for the entire Mets organization.”

He probably resigned like Buck did. I think Eppler was pretty decent, for sure better than I thought he'd be. But makes sense STOINS is going with all his own people.

Remind me to copy and paste this post sometime later in the week when it's Eppler's turn.

Everybody try to get the ball to smg. Feed the hot hand.

I haven't really been clear on what a GM does when he works under a POBO. Maybe Eppler wasn't either, or he found out and decided it wasn't for him.

Mostly handles the details of contract negotiations, arbitration, liaisons with other GMs on trades, etc., while POBO directs the overall direction of the club and organization.

He was given a lot of money to spend on the finest ride, and he did.
He bought a Mercedes-Benz.
And then he put bald tires on it.
Roster construction wasn't his strong point.

Later

Way less surprising than the Buck shit canning

Frayed Knot · Post by **Frayed Knot** » Thu Oct 05, 2023 8:05 pm

Did he put bald tires on it prior to the 101 win season or just the 75 ?

There has been some talk about Buck and Eppler disagreeing about Vogelbach's playing time

Eppler may have pushed Buck to play Vogelbach more than Buck may have liked

Twitter scuttle is saying Eppler is being investigated by MLB for improper IL usage.

Tommy Hunter and his back spasms were mighty suspicious.

Why are the Mets so often caught up in the fugly

Someday maybe the Mets will be investigated for being awesome, and hopefully not for Astro reasons.

If he was doing that for some kind of competitive advantage, I don’t think it worked.

Is there a source you can share?

Here you go. It’s a Puma story.

Gotta believe Puna's Met source is Buck

Say the phantom IL thing is true, and Martino is confirming that's the case. Wouldn't that be more of a slap-on-the-wrist kind of thing instead of clear-out-your-office offense?

A report in The Athletic says multiple execs on other teams said that is not a resignation thing, so what is going on?

Gwreck · Post by **Gwreck** » Fri Oct 06, 2023 8:27 am

Simplest explanation is that when you’re the #1 guy, you don’t want to be demoted to #2?
