New York Mets: BVW says Kumbaya Callaway stays, culture needs change

This is the price due for managing a Major League team, let alone one in the media capital of the world. No privacy, no sense of running a team without everyone with a keyboard typing how bad Callaway is, how incompetent he manages the New York Mets, or how his nose hairs need trimming. Not that he does things behind closed doors, there are no doors.
Callaway is called soft and player-friendly. Isn’t this what today’s manager is all about? We have so many players that need a safe, criticism-free zone all while making the kind of money you and I will never see, who whine about how unfair the expectations are upon them. DId I tell you Callaway needs to be a psychologist too?
MLB wants #letthekidsplay. What angers fans is they don’t expect a 36-year-old Cano to act like today’s player. Robbie has been doing this since his 2005 debut in the Bronx. He should set the example and leadership for Ahmed Rosario. First Jose Reyes goes south, and now Cano?
By the way, for New York Mets player and current team broadcaster Todd Zeile did the same thing Cano did, and that was in the postseason.
But I digress again.
