It’s official, NY Mets manager Terry Collins is calling it quits, as manager of the Mets and is moving into the team’s front office.
Prior to Collins’ announcement, things had turned particularly ugly amid anonymously sourced reports of sniping by players, which prompted David Wright, a Mets third baseman, to comment on the issue.
Wright stated:
“It was cowardly, in my opinion. I have been very fortunate in my career.
I haven’t had too many gripes, but when I did, I went and talked to Terry or whoever the manager is. His door has always been open and he’s always listened.”
And Sandy Alderson was very angry about the anonymous bad-mouthing about Collins to the media.
What do you make of this chaos?

Lately, the NY Mets' record is not living up to the public's expectations.
Some of the New York Mets' lack of production and wins are due to injury, and some say is because of managerial decision-making.
Consequently, NY Mets manager Terry Collins is on the hot seat.
Yes, “the Mets are back,” declared Brooklynfans.com reporter Jason Schott!
“The day that will be the turning point of the Mets, July 23rd, … (New York Mets Manager) Terry Collins sent out a lineup with John Mayberry Jr. and Eric Campbell 4 and 5, both hitting around 170…so the next day fine, (New York Mets General Manager) Alderson went out and got a couple of hitters. They got Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson, the effect on Lucas Duda was incredible, nine home runs in eight games since those guys showed up. Then, a week later, right at 4 o’clock on the deadline (after Wilmer Flores fiasco),….he gets an even better guy, he gets Yoenis Cespedes. So you have Cespedes and Duda 3,4 in the order that’s as good as any righty, lefty as anybody in the league,” explained Jason Schott.
“With Cespedes’ addition to the lineup, Duda’s had three home runs in the last three games, he’s being effective immediately,” What’s The 411Sports host Gregory Alcala added.
“The Mets’ offense has been in the bottom of the league this whole year. It’s like the weirdest balance when you have, might have a top 5 pitching rotation in the bullpen, but you have one of the worst offenses in the league, and when you have that kind of pitching around you, young pitching and everybody being elite, you got to go for it and I think that is what Sandy (Alderson) recognized and he was finally able to get something done,” continued Gregory Alcala.
“I think people were concerned about Sandy not pulling the trigger,” chimed in What’s The 411Sports host Glenn Gilliam.
“Nobody believed Sandy Alderson would actually go for it…”, responded Jason Schott. “This team, they should win the NL East…they should get by the underachieving Nationals and then…the playoffs.”
“And, this is from a Yankees fan over here guys, so you know it’s good information. I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve got a big family of Mets supporters and we’re not biased here, but we love our Mets!,” exclaimed Glenn Gilliam.
