Alderson discusses future, cites Ricco as potential successor

Mets GM Sandy Alderson, who is in his eighth year with the club, discussed his future plans and potential successor with SNY contributor Andy Martino.

Regarding how much longer he wants to hold the position of GM, Alderson said it's something he thinks about "from time to time."

"Throughout my career, I've never really focused on the next thing," he said. "I've always kind of said to myself -- I tell people this, too -- focus on the job you have right now because it's the most important job you'll ever have."

"I've never been all that self-directed," Alderson continued.
