it's been an honor and a privilege to be part of this staff! I think I did a particularly good job on this last BSB, but you all should read it and decide for yourself :)

From Josh Hamilton’s Wikipedia page:
Legal issues
Hamilton was arrested on October 30, 2019, and charged with injury to a child, a third-degree felony, after being accused of physically assaulting his oldest daughter. [118] On April 8, 2020, Hamilton was indicted on a felony charge for allegedly beating his daughter. The charge carried a sentence of up to ten years in prison. [119][120] On February 22, 2022, Hamilton pleaded guilty to unlawful restraint, a misdemeanor. Hamilton received a year of probation, was fined $500, and was ordered to perform 20 hours of community service; the court also imposed other requirements upon him. According to the court, the charge against him will be dismissed if he satisfies the probation requirements. [121]

Official statements from Steve and Alex Cohen, David Stearns, and Andy Green on Green getting the full-time gig. metsinsider.mlblogs.com/andy-green-n...
“Andy has connected with and pushed our players to perform, despite the disappointment of the season,” said Steve and Alex Cohen. “Over the last several months he has brought discipline, accountability and positivity to the clubhouse, attributes we were seeking in our next manager. We want to congratulate Andy, his wife, Jessica, and their three daughters. We are excited for his continued leadership in the dugout.”

“Over the course of the season, it became evident that the next manager of the New York Mets was already in place,” said Stearns. “Andy has demonstrated strong leadership qualities and a unique ability to forge connections with our emerging core and distinguished veterans. I look forward to continuing our great partnership as we turn toward the 2027 season.”

“I am excited and humbled to officially be named manager of the New York Mets,” said Green. “When I accepted the interim role, I didn’t anticipate it becoming permanent, but the more time I spent with our players and staff, the clearer it became that this is where my passion and experience could make the greatest impact. That realization led to many conversations with my family, and together we agreed this is the right opportunity at the right time. I want to thank Steve and Alex for the love, ambition and commitment with which they lead this organization, and David for the trust he has placed in me. I believe deeply in what we can build together, and I’m honored to continue serving our players, this organization and the amazing Mets fans.”“Andy has connected with and pushed our players to perform, despite the disappointment of the season,” said Steve and Alex Cohen. “Over the last several months he has brought discipline, accountability and positivity to the clubhouse, attributes we were seeking in our next manager.
