And why, specifically, did his old Yankees team not think about bringing him back?<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually they did. But only for a second or two.<\/p>\n<p>Showalter\u2019s name came up early and briefly at least in one discussion among a couple higher-ups after Aaron Boone\u2019s contract expired and the Yankees were internally discussing their manager position. While the Yankees seemed to take a surprisingly long time to finalize Boone\u2019s deal, Buck turned out to be little more than a fleeting thought in a very short discussion of other alternatives. The Yankees weren\u2019t about to remove Boone.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets are really the team that needed a jolt, and Buck brings exactly that. The Yankees did not require that.<\/p>\n<p>It was Brian Cashman\u2019s call, as it should be, and the very longtime GM was fully and understandably behind Boone. <\/p>\n<p>The Yankees gave Boone a three-year extension after a regular season when they overachieved again and a postseason when they dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed again.<\/p>\n<p>Boone has a sterling overall won-loss record (top five all time), and is considered an outstanding employee. In other words, he\u2019s usually good about taking direction from the front office, which is where the power is now, not just with the Yankees but most teams.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/newspress-collage-21995946-1650586278896.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Buck Showalter and Brian Cashman\" class=\"wp-image-21996091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/newspress-collage-21995946-1650586278896.png?w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/newspress-collage-21995946-1650586278896.png 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/newspress-collage-21995946-1650586278896.png?w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Buck Showalter and Brian Cashman<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin; Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Meantime, Showalter is known as a baseball savant, certainly at 161st and River better than anywhere. But he\u2019s also known for wanting things done his own way, which might explain how someone so brilliant in baseball was fired four times before, including by owner Hal Steinbrenner\u2019s father in 1995. And why he spent three years at MLB Network rather than the dugout.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing back Showalter after 27 years away would have been a headline grabber, but the Yankees played it safe, surprising no one. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately though, it\u2019s the Mets\u2019 gain. In their own search, there was some support for Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro, spirited debate and maybe even a brief split, though owner Steve Cohen was firmly in the Buck camp and the Mets ultimately agreed to unanimously select Showalter \u2014 a recent runner-up to Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi. <\/p>\n<p>Now at 10-3 with Showalter in the dugout (they lost Wednesday when he was away for a medical procedure; he returned the next day and he\u2019s said to be OK), it\u2019s almost unanimous in five boroughs: it was the right choice.<\/p>\n<p>Showalter set a needed tone by charging out of the dugout after Mets stars Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso were drilled in the face, and impressed everyone using the rule book to guarantee a run versus the D\u2019backs. Folks suggest Showalter has a \u201cshelf life.\u201d But as one Mets person put it: \u201cRight guy at the right time.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
