The New York Mets announced Wednesday that Sandy Alderson will return for his eighth season as the team's general manager after the two sides agreed to a contract extension.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Alderson's return in 2018 had been expected since the end of the 2017 season. Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reported Sept. 22 that the Mets already made the decision to bring him back.
Last season was a mess for the Mets. Their 70-92 record was their worst since they posted an identical mark in 2009.
