CARLSBAD http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Brodie Van Wagenen made his first public moves as New York Mets general manager, firing hitting coach Pat Roessler along with bullpen coach Ricky Bones on Monday and announcing manager Mickey Callaway will have a new bench coach.After meeting for two days with Callaway last week, Van Wagenen said bench coach Gary DiSarcina will replace third-base coach Glenn Sherlock, who will shift to first-base coach.New York went 77-85 in Callaway’s first season as a manager, and Callaway drew attention for game management.In a 2-1, 10-inning loss at Cincinnati on May 9, Asdrubal Cabrera and Wilmer Flores batted out of order because the hand-written lineup card given to umpires was different than a computer-printed version posted in the Mets dugout. And on July 9, Callaway brought in left-hander Jerry Blevins against Philadelphia before lefty-hitting Odubel Herrera was announced as a pinch hitter, allowing Phillies manager Gabe Kapler to bat righty-hitting Jesmuel Valentin without wasting a player. Callaway insisted that was the matchup he wanted.Van Wagenen said the impetus for change started with Callaway’s self-evaluation.“Having someone that is an experienced coach that can help him with in-game management we thought would be a win for Mickey and help him with his development,” Van Wagenen said. “You’ve got to identify who complements yourself.”Former Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., who had been first-base coach Charlie Morton Jersey , will become a front office adviser to the 44-year-old Van Wagenen, who quit as co-head of CAA Baseball’s agency group and was hired Oct. 30 to replace Sandy Alderson as GM. Van Wagenen knows Amaro since his own days as a player at Stanford.“I think in my transition, he can be a valuable asset for me in the front office,” Van Wagenen said.Roessler was promoted to hitting coach from assistant when Kevin Long left for Washington after the 2017 season. Bones had been bullpen coach since the 2012 season.Alderson’s top three assistants have been asked to stay on and are attending this week’s GM meetings: assistant general manager John Ricco and special assistants JP Ricciardi and Omar Minaya. Van Wagenen did not specify if all three had decided to stay with the Mets long-term.“We’ve talked to those guys about various different roles and areas of focus and, hopefully, we can get more definition as it goes forward,” he said. “But they’re certainly important to me and that’s why they’re out here this week.”Van Wagenen attended the Arizona Fall League All-Star Game last weekend, met with player development staff and scouts, and also had dinner with Mets prospect Peter Alonso, who homered in the game on a 103 mph pitch from Toronto’s Nate Pearson. The first baseman, who turns 24 next month http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , hit .314 with 15 homers and 52 RBIs in 65 games this year with Double-A Binghamton, then batted .260 with 21 homers and 67 RBIs in 67 games at Triple-A Las Vegas following a mid-June promotion.“He is a really hard worker and he has a burning desire to succeed, and he communicated that very clearly to me, and I told him that we’re going to give him every opportunity to try to capitalize on that both in the short term and the long-term,” Van Wagenen said. “He will be going to big league camp, and we’ll try to get him as many at-bats as we can and see if we can make a decision in terms of how ready he is.”Van Wagenen also met with 20-year-old shortstop prospect Andres Gimenez. PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard tuned up for the regular season with a couple fastballs — at his own organization.Syndergaard questioned the Mets’ treatment of ace Jacob deGrom and the organization’s upcoming travel plans after he made his final appearance of spring training on Sunday.The 30-year-old deGrom is hoping for a new contract before opening day after he won the NL Cy Young Award last season. But he sounded pessimistic about the possibility after he worked three perfect innings in his final spring outing on Saturday.“I think Jake’s the best pitcher in baseball right now,” Syndergaard said. “I think he deserves whatever amount he’s worth. I want to keep him happy so when it does come time for him to reach free agency he stays on our side pitching for the Mets.“I think they should just quit all this fuss and pay the man already.”DeGrom went 10-9 with a sparkling 1.70 ERA in 32 starts last year. Aces Chris Sale and Justin Verlander and sluggers Mike Trout and Paul Goldschmidt recently finalized new contracts.Syndergaard, 26, said failing to do the same with deGrom could send a message.“I think so, yes Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey , because of what you see going on in baseball right now,” he said. “I feel like if there wasn’t a trend of other guys getting contract extensions, I don’t know what the circumstance would be.“You see those guys getting extensions, I think it’s time Jacob gets one, too. He’s really good, a great teammate. I don’t get it.”New York’s travel plans also had Syndergaard’s attention.The Mets left Florida’s East Coast after Sunday’s 8-4 win over Washington for Sarasota — a three-hour bus ride over to the Gulf of Mexico.The Mets close out the Grapefruit League on Monday against Baltimore and then fly to Syracuse for a Tuesday workout at the home of their new Triple-A affiliate. Then it’s back on a plane to Washington for Thursday’s season opener.“You’d think we’d go to New York to get like — as adults — our things, our affairs in order, but nah, we’ve got to go to Syracuse first,” Syndergaard said. “I don’t know whose idea that was, but it’s not a smart one.“I don’t think that’s conducive toward winning ballgames. That much travel … but those kinds of decisions are above my paygrade.”Syndergaard Nolan Ryan Jersey , who finished his spring training with a short outing on a backfield against a Miami Marlins minor league squad, said his teammates had discussed the itinerary and feel the same way.“Absolutely,” the tall right-hander said, adding that the players voiced their opinion. “We tried, but it doesn’t really do much.”Syndergaard, who said he has never been to Syracuse, had a straightforward answer when asked if he was looking forward to visiting the city: “Not even the slightest bit.”With all the meetings, information and data the club has presented to the players on proper sleep, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, Syndergaard said traveling to Syracuse for a workout didn’t seem like the right approach.“I don’t think that’s the way to go. I don’t think that’s what championship teams do prior to the season,” he said.Mets manager Mickey Callaway disagreed with Syndergaard http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , who will start the season’s second game in DC on Saturday.“I’ve already talked to him about it before,” Callaway said. “He’s going to get mad when I take him out of a game because he’s a competitor. He’s a routine-oriented guy.“I think going to Syracuse is good for the fans. It’s a new affiliate and something that doesn’t happen often. We’re excited that it’s New York and it’s our fans.”NOTES: Callaway said final roster decisions in the bullpen and at catcher would be made on Wednesday. … C Travis d’Arnaud will stay in Port St. Lucie and catch in minor league games in the hopes of being ready for the Nationals on Thursday. … C Wilson Ramos left the game against Washington in the third inning after taking a pitch off his right hand in between the pinky and ring finger. X-rays were negative. . Recently demoted RHP Tim Peterson, a strong consideration for the Mets’ bullpen, was back at his old locker on Sunday morning and started against the split-squad Nationals. Peterson, 28, worked two scoreless innings and could still be an option for the final roster, Callaway said.
