Does Craig Counsell really want to come to the Mets? Or does he want the Brewers to believe he will come to the Mets?
Mets would have fired Billy Eppler if he didn't resign after MLB revealed injured-list probeRangers’ latest road win sets up thrilling Game 7 for strange ALCSYou know what we still don’t know?. But that was just last-second semantics, to some degree. His Milwaukee contract expires Tuesday, and Stearns has not emphasized fast-tracking managerial interviews since he officially joined the Mets on Oct. 2.
It is not just that Counsell has been successful in his eight-plus years as Brewers manager. He has great popularity in MLB’s smallest market. Counsell grew up and still resides in Whitefish Bay, Wis. His dad worked for the organization. The Brewers had only ever reached the playoffs four times before making it five times in the last six seasons under a local boy who has made good.
Counsell is basically at the peak of his profession. He made $3.5 million in 2023. The top of the manager market comes in at $6 million-plus. That is not the kind of salary.
