We have the transcript of Willie Randolph’s brief talk with reporters here this morning in Costa Mesa, Calif., as he left the team hotel following his early-morning dismissal as Mets manager. Q: Can we talk to you?
A: I donât really have much to say, really.
Q: What are your initial feelings on how it went down?
A: Iâm just very disa that Iâm not going to be able to fulfill my what my dream is, to come here and help this team win a world championship. I miss my players, the good fans, and Iâm really sorry I wasnât able to fulfill what I really said I wanted to do here and get this team to a world championship. Thatâs what Iâve always been about. Itâs very, very difficult right now, but Iâm ready to move on.
Q: What’s your next move?
A: Iâm just going to go home and enjoy my family.
Q: Did you know this was coming when you left the stadium?
A: No, I was really stunned by it. I was surprised.
