Buck Showalter– New York Mets
Is Buck Showalter the perfect guy to take the Mets back to the playoffs? Showalter, a three-time Manager of the Year, returns to the dugout after a three-year absence. Showalter’s Baltimore Orioles finished 47-115 the last time he was a manager in the league, in 2018. Showalter has won over 1,500 games in his career and is no stranger to pressure — or the New York media — having managed the Yankees for four years in the 1990s.
