Buck Showalter Says Mets’ Problem Was Pitching, Not Jeff McNeil–Francisco Lindor Rift

“Jeff's a Long Beach State dirtbag… Lindor is a very stylish, worldly guy… but it works,” Showalter said, insisting the Mets’ issues weren’t the clubhouse drama. He noted McNeil “led the whole globe in hitting that year” and argued poor pitching, not relationships, sank them. On Juan Soto, he called him an “unbelievable offensive performer” you shouldn’t overmanage.
