JUPITER, Fla. — With several members of the Mets set to depart camp over the next few days to join their respective teams in the World Baseball Classic, manager Buck Showalter gathered a group of them in the visiting manager’s office in Jupiter to wish them well on Sunday morning.
He was succinct and to the point: Go win and good luck.
“Very Buck-like,” shortstop Francisco Lindor said.
It was a bittersweet day for the manager who tends to revel in a team atmosphere. Showalter can frequently be found circling the clubhouse to talk to his players throughout the day, though he is always conscious of giving them their space.
