In December 2021, the Mets brought in Showalter to take Luis Rojas’ spot. With two games remaining in the season, the 67-year-old veteran manager is 175-147 in New York, including 74-86 this season. Owner of the Mets Steve Cohen released a statement saying, “We are heading in a new direction, with a new president of baseball operations and we let Buck know we’ll be parting ways.” “We appreciate what Buck has done for our team, including leading us to a 101-win season and postseason berth last year. He is a generational manager.”
