I think its fair to say the Mets do a pretty awful job at presenting themselves in the best possible light as an organization. Isn’t it time the Mets look into hiring a real public relations firm to manage their day to day operations or at the very least, how they handle a situation like the one they found themselves in with Willie Randolph?

Over at O’Dwyer PR Blog, Kevin McCauley suggests that the Mets hire Howard Rubenstein, longtime rep of the New York Yankees.

McCauley writes that Rubenstein, “would have urged the Wilpons to take the heat via a Shea Stadium press conference.” He adds, “The Mets could sure use Rubenstein’s counsel, especially with Citi Field opening next year and a new manager in charge.”
