Seems likely he'll go with his guys.
But wait...there's more....



....but other team GM's have done it as well...so perhaps him resigning is just coincidental, because he knew the FO was gonna make changes no matter what...and that he didn't play into their long term plans.

13) Mets (38 WAR)
Free agents: RHP Carlos Carrasco, RHP Adam Ottavino

Biggest needs: At least six new pitchers, corner outfield, second base

Thirteenth, between the Cardinals and Mariners, tells you where this roster is. Unlike the Padres or even the Yankees, they can’t just point to injuries or underperformance, because after their mid-season sell-off the lineup has holes and the pitching is decimated. Right now, Kodai Senga and maybe José Quintana are the only starting pitchers you can really rely upon, and the bullpen needs help, too – though the anticipated healthy return of Edwin Díaz will sure do a lot to help there.

The lineup has fewer questions, though it’s hardly set, because a power bat who can play an outfield corner is an absolute must, and they’ll almost certainly move on from Daniel Vogelbach at DH as well. It’s still not clear how much they can trust young bats Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio, or even Francisco Alvarez. At some point, extremely soon, they’re going to need to figure out if they’re extending first baseman Pete Alonso or looking to move him via trade. Considering there’s a new president of baseball operations and a new manager in town, it’s hard to predict the path for 2024 other than that they’ll make a great deal of noise doing it.
