DD interviewed Ausmus today.
Gonna really suck when DD hires Ausmus and then trades Groome, Chavis + for Miggy.Per Heyman, Ausmus has removed himself from Mets consideration.
Any color available as to why? This makes me nervous.Per Heyman, Ausmus has removed himself from Mets consideration.
I assume if it was for the Boston job It would have leaked by now.Any color available as to why? This makes me nervous.
Olney says that Kevin Long is viewed as the favorite for the Mets. Perhaps Ausmus simply saw the writing on the wall.Any color available as to why? This makes me nervous.
Isn't that citing the same unnamed source as the other article?Looks like it's Cora's job if he wants it:

This is some outstanding post/handle symmetry.well if it's Mets vs Red Sox, I like our chances
Made me barf, but you youngsters are a different breed.This is some outstanding post/handle symmetry.
probably visited by the apparition of Tim Tebow standing in right fieldAny color available as to why? This makes me nervous.
Comments from Tito.Where did the 'smart Alex Cora' thing come from? I remember game threads about how smart he was every time he got a hit, or made a play. It just became a fact, but I never knew where it came from.
Not an uncommon occurrence in any sport. Coaches staffs for teams going deep in the playoffs tend to be the ones with guys in demand for vacant manager/head coach jobs. If they didn't interview during the playoffs, they might miss out on a job.Also seems pretty odd they’d interview Cora while he’s in the middle of an ALCS, promotion or not.
That's pretty common, actually. Like Assistant coaches in the NFL interviewing during Bye weeks of the playoffsI remember Cora giving rave reviews on either Moncada or Rusney, but can’t remember which. Anyone? Seems like an important detail and a measure of “smartness”.

Gammons also constantly mentioned how smart and special Cora wasComments from Tito.
It was in fact Castillo. To be fair, Castillo hit .400 with power in that stint with Caguas.I remember Cora giving rave reviews on either Moncada or Rusney, but can’t remember which. Anyone? Seems like an important detail and a measure of “smartness”.

I can already see the “genius!¡” posts when he does something that’s not highly agreed with here. What does he think about bunting?Where did the 'smart Alex Cora' thing come from?

Has Cora expressed that he prefers the Red Sox over the Mets though? I mean, he should, but I haven’t seen anything.I think this gets crapped up pretty quickly

Yeah, Castillo's had stretches where he's seemed like a very good player, I have wondered to what extent his bad stretches are related to injuries.It was in fact Castillo. To be fair, Castillo hit .400 with power in that stint with Caguas.
He might have said that to his wife, but why on earth would he say that publically?Has Cora expressed that he prefers the Red Sox over the Mets though? I mean, he should, but I haven’t seen anything.
If Gardenhire gets the nod against the odds, you can be sure it will be the former 'round these parts.I think this gets crapped up pretty quickly

I thought there were some loose MLB rules about "big announcements" during the playoffs. Or maybe its just the World Series?I haven't seen the media this certain something was gonna happen since just before we traded for Todd Frazier.
Seriously, I hope it does happen. Whoever he signs with, will it be announced while Houston is still playing? That will seem a little weird. On the other hand it'll be hard to keep under craps, I mean wraps, once it's a done deal.
The ARod Opt-Out RuleOr maybe its just the World Series?
I'm pretty sure he remains with the Astros, no matter when its announced (while theyre still playing). Or at least its up to him and the Astros. They cant just toss their bench coach right now.The ARod Opt-Out Rule
I guess it depends on the clubhouse, but I could see an announcement made with the stipulation that he remains with the Astros until their season is over
Well, Ausmus already said no Mets for him and I thought maybe Cora had said something showing a preference. Or, does he stay mum because of Houston/playoffs.He might have said that to his wife, but why on earth would he say that publically?

Cora is interviewing with the Mets today.
Thanks. Now that he’s looking like the overwhelming choice of people close to the Sox, I hope we get him.Cora is interviewing with the Mets today.
Cora was interviewed today by the Mets. "He found it very useful/worthwhile/helpful," said a source.He already interviewed
“@Enrique_Rojas1: Alex Cora fue entrevistado hoy por #Mets. “Fue encuentro muy provechoso”, dijo una fuente.”
"He found it very useful/worthwhile/helpful," Doesn't sound very encouraging for the Mets.Cora was interviewed today by the Mets. "He found it very useful/worthwhile/helpful," said a source.

Wasn't his SoSH nickname "Socrates"?Where did the 'smart Alex Cora' thing come from? I remember game threads about how smart he was every time he got a hit, or made a play. It just became a fact, but I never knew where it came from.
He now knows what a shit show looks like and got a complimentary lunch as well."He found it very useful/worthwhile/helpful," Doesn't sound very encouraging for the Mets.
Cupcakes, or it wasn't NYHe now knows what a shit show looks like and got a complimentary lunch as well.
