Morning Briefing: Billy Eppler Quiet First Day After Presser
Good morning, Mets fans!
Following new Mets GM Billy Eppler’s press conference on Friday, where he discussed the search for a manager and his plan to be aggressive in the starting pitcher market (among other things), Saturday was as quiet as a mouse.
Eppler did say he would be diving into conversations with Sandy Alderson and Steve Cohen. So hopefully for fans, despite Saturday’s silence, Mets management is working hard behind the scenes. Mets fans may just have to be patient as we approach the holiday season.
