tbh you don't want a celebrity as your manager

i mean the whole mets thing was they were going to hire david stearns from the brewers and then bring over counsell who is widely regarded as an S tier manager

now theyre hiring a first time guy who worked under aaron boone - a guy hired with no experience managing at all ever - for a team that went through coaching changes mid year and has all sorts of drama around how the team is run and whatnot. i dunno. i would have wanted a veteran presence with front office experience/synergy who can keep things stable like counsell, melvin, etc

none of this will really matter though if the mets reshape their r&d i guess. they really improved the farm and cohen's willingness to spend should keep them competitive once things start rolling.
