Suing the Mets

Phil Regan is suing the Mets for age discrimination:

The Mets made Regan interim pitching coach under then-manager Mickey Callaway when they fired Dave Eiland midway through the 2019 season. Regan, then 82, was not retained, however, alleging that then-general manager Brodie Van Wagenen told him he was “too old,” per the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

This strikes me as one of those cases where the Mets should just settle. Steve Cohen could say, “That was the previous regime. That’s not how we operate,” and reach a decent settlement. It would be good for Regan and good PR for the club.
