Buck Showalter will keep his job at the New York Mets for the remainder of the season, after owner Steve Cohen backed the 67-year-old in a press conference.
It's been a shocking season for the Mets so far, as they sit 17 wins behind the Atlanta Braves in NL East with a .450 win percentage. The Mets have the most expensive payroll in the sport’s history this season, but they're not seeing any positive results.
Head coach Showalter and general manager Billy Eppler are understandably under pressure, but Cohen has stood by them. When asked by a reporter if the pair would remain in their roles this season, Cohen replied: "Absolutely."
