New York Mets manager Buck Showalter announced on Sunday that he will leave the team after this season, which the team is ending with a losing record of 74-86. Showalter joined the not-so-Amazins last year, when they notched a winning record of 101-61. Showalter’s departure comes a month after the team hired David Stearns as its new head of operations. “I was honored to get a chance to manage a second New York team and I'm proud of what the Mets did,” Showalter said at a press conference Sunday. “I wish things could've gone better this season because Mets fans deserve that.”
