The Mets have struck out for a second straight offseason in their quest to find someone to lead the team’s baseball operations. So it appears they will go the route they went last year — hire just a GM (because it went so well last time). Well, at this point, they just shouldn’t bother.
The Cohen/Alderson braintrust is out there begging someone, anyone, to take the job. If a man or woman does accept, he or she will likely be someone who is inexperienced. Which means Sandy Alderson will be running the show yet again. So why put on a charade of having a GM?
