There had been several updates from Joel Sherman, too, indicating that the hiring was imminent, and he added that he’s hearing that Porter’s deal with the Mets is for four years.
Having worked for the Red Sox and Cubs, Porter’s most recent job before being hired by the Mets was with the Diamondbacks, where he served as a senior vice president and assistant general manager. Joel Sherman also notes that he had been in the hunt for other general manager jobs and was a runner-up for the Angels’ recent general manager hiring.
