3 Accomplished Managers Who Can Save the Mets

The New York Mets are in dire straits. They're 20-25, on a five-game losing streak and are 6.5 games out of first place in the NL East. With the team already reportedly searching for manager Mickey Callaway's replacement, let's take a look at three established managers who could help save the Mets' season.

3. Robin Ventura

Chicago White Sox v Miami Marlins / Eric Espada

Though he doesn't have the resume of other candidates, Robin Ventura knows a thing or two about squeezing the best out of a team. He finished third in Manager of the Year voting back in 2012, and he has five seasons of experience under his belt as the leader of a rebuilding White Sox squad.

2. John Farrell

Divisional Round - Houston Astros v Boston Red Sox - Game Four / Maddie Meyer

Discipline is something the Mets are sorely lacking, and John Farrell could be just the solution. The former manager of the Boston Red Sox knows a thing or two about getting a team in line. With three postseason appearances, a World Series title and a career .517 winning percentage under his belt, Farrell checks all the boxes for a quality replacement.

1. Joe Girardi

League Championship Series - New York Yankees v Houston Astros - Game Seven / Ronald Martinez

If there's one guy who could handle the pressure of dealing with the New York media, especially on a sinking ship like the Mets, it's Joe Girardi. He was the skipper of the Yankees for 10 years, guiding them to the postseason six times, including a World Series win in 2009. He's got the chops to turn the Mets around-- the only question is whether or not he'd be willing to come out of retirement to do it.
