So far, the New York Mets have swung and missed with most of their top candidates for the president of baseball operations position. Theo Epstein, Billy Beane, and David Stearns were all discussed at some point, but the possibilities of one of them joining the team are now extremely remote.
Sandy Alderson, the Mets’ president, wants to fill the position with someone capable, with experience and proven ability to lead an MLB club to sustained success. The problem is that the candidates that fill the criteria are not abundant.
Brian Sabean, who is currently working as an advisor for the San Francisco Giants, has been mentioned as a potential contender for the role.
