Former Mets manager Terry Collins joins Kelley Franco for a candid conversation about how baseball has changed in the analytics era — and the depth of the “old-school vs. analytics” divide.
Collins shares his perspective on modern managing and front offices, the evolving role of MLB managers, and whether a manager like him would still be hired in today’s game. He also breaks down the Mets’ disappointing season, the pressure on Carlos Mendoza, what it means when coaches get fired, and how to motivate underperforming players.
Kelley Franco brings thoughtful, in-depth baseball conversations with MLB insiders, executives, attorneys, media personalities, and former players and managers.
