Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen has plenty of options for Callaway's replacement this offseason. It would be in the team's best interest to go the route of an experienced manager to ensure another learning curve does not erase the progress the Mets made in 2019. Advertisement Experienced managers available on the market, should they be interested in taking a job on New York's intense stage, include: Joe Maddon, Joe Girardi, Buck Showalter and Brad Ausmus. Some other names tossed around in previous years include: Carlos Beltran, Mets in-house quality-control coach Luis Rojas and Joe Espada. The next Mets manager will have the difficult responsibility of working under the the watchful and involved eyes of Mets ownership. Jeff Wilpon and Van Wagenen are heavily entangled in the manager's daily decision-making process (as evidenced by Van Wagenen reportedly texting Callaway mid-game to remove Jacob deGrom from a start this past season). Limited contract money could be an issue for an experienced manager to sign on for the gig. The Mets owe Callaway $850,000 next year to complete his three-year contract. The Wilpons will likely refrain from shelling out the $3 million Girardi or Showalter would command.
