Buck Showalter was back at Camden Yards on Friday, the site of his last managerial stint that was derailed by a midseason dismantling.
In 2018, the Orioles traded away Manny Machado Zack Britton, Kevin Gausman and Jonathan Schoop as part of a fire sale that resulted in a 115-loss season just two years after they had made the postseason under Showalter for a third time in five seasons.They entered their series against the Mets in first place in the AL East, with their eyes on getting back to the postseason for the first time since Showalter’s 2016 team.
While the Mets, with owner Steve Cohen’s deep pockets and willingness to spend, don’t figure to go into a similar tailspin as Baltimore did from 2018 through last year, under Peter Angelos, there are sure to be road bumps in the rebuilding at Citi Field. The Mets hope they aren’t down for long, but they likely will be picking higher in the 2024 amateur draft than they had anticipated.
