I inquired of David Wright if he’d consider the Mets manager job. His response: “Happy New Year Jon. Correct, I am not interested in coaching. Full transparency I did accept a position as a coach on my daughter’s 3/4 year old coed tee ball team this spring.”

As if this story couldn’t get any weirder...

Someone posing as Carlos Beltrán's niece tweeted that Altuve & Bregman were stealing signs, setting off a wild frenzy of conspiracy theories. But the acct may belong to Incarcerated Bob, "the originator of fake news in the gambling world." @thedailybeast https://t.co/CXB4lhcRtz
