Mets' Buck Showalter named NL Manager of the Year

The New York Mets' Buck Showalter was named National League Manager of the Year on Tuesday night, becoming just the third person to win a fourth award and the first to win with four different franchises.

Showalter, 66, has now won Manager of the Year in four different decades, his previous awards coming with the New York Yankees (1994), Texas Rangers (2004) and Baltimore Orioles (2014). The other four-time winners are Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa.

Spot on! "With Correa's deal, the Mets have committed more than $800 million to free agents this offseason, and their competitive balance tax payroll now projects to be approximately $384 million. The fourth and final threshold of the luxury tax, commonly referred to as "the Steve Cohen tax," sits at $293 million for the 2023 season, which means the Mets could be in for a tax bill in the neighborhood of $100 million next year." via an ESPN article.

Yep. Great results last year with their quick exit in the Wild Card series while the Guardians and their terrible owners took the Yankees to 5 games in the divisional round.

I'm a Reds fan but thanks for your submission to the dumbest post of the fucking year competition. I think you've got a real shot at the award.
