The ongoing General Manager search for the New York Mets has finally concluded, with Arizona Diamondbacks Assistant GM Jared Porter earning the job. Porter is well regarded throughout baseball and was seen as a future GM prior as his reputation grew. As Porter is just moving into his 40s, he is in line to replace Sandy Alderson as President of Baseball Operations if all goes well.

After years of watching the Wilpons import executives who were incompetent, it is amazing to see the Cohen/Alderson group select another quality candidate.
