Dodgers bench coach Bob Geren could find himself the front-runner to replace Terry Collins, whose contract is up at the end of this season, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. "The former A's manager may have a leg up on taking over the managerial job with the Mets if they decide to part ways with Terry Collins, which seems inevitable," Cafardo writes. "GM Sandy Alderson has always had a fondness for Geren, who was the team's bench coach until he headed west for family considerations. But the manager's job would likely lure him back to New York." According to multiple reports in August, Collins had been telling people he was unsure if he'd return to managing after this season. Similarly, Continue to Article

Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes is rehabbing four days a week and will focus on running this off-season to keep his legs healthy, he said to reporters on Tuesday. "I'm doing a treatment four days a week and it seems to be going very well," he said. Cespedes added that in the past he entered the season with a focus on strength, but wasn't as dedicated to running and he could tell later in the season that his muscles couldn't keep up. He told Mets SS Amed Rosario not to bulk up too much or else he may not be able to play shortstop, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post. Cespedes praised Mike Barwis, the team's strength and conditioning coach, who he said is smart, insightful, and knowledgeable. Cespedes Continue to Article

Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard, who threw a simulated game on Monday in Miami, will be re-evaluated on Friday, the team said on Tuesday. Syndergaard said after Monday's simulated game that he doesn't want to rush his return. "I don't want to try to rush it and jump back out there too early because it is kind of a serious injury," Syndergaard told reporters. "I've also heard a lot of stories of people re-injuring themselves. I want to make sure that doesn't happen. I know the team is taking precautions, pull the reigns back a little bit. I respect that."Sept. 18, 2017: Syndergaard throws a simulated game in Miami (Credit: @Mets on Twitter) The Mets are reportedly concerned about having Syndergaard Continue to Article

Lately, Mets manager Terry Collins has acted so mellow, so indifferent to the losing and injuries, that it seems to me that he's accepted he will not be back next season. And, interstingly, he also seems OK with it. According to multiple reports, Collins has told people he's unsure if he'll return to managing after this season. There have not been any reports indicating Collins and the Mets have discussed a contract extension. Basically, it's time. His job here is done. Remember, when he was first hired, the Mets were looking for someone to help change the clubhouse culture. They wanted someone old school and disciplined, who would be good leading a young team about to lose a lot and enter a Continue to Article
