During his Monday press conference — streamed by the New York Mets Twitter account — Sandy Alderson was open and transparent about the Mets’ search for a head of their front office.
He kicked things off by explaining that the Mets are no longer on the hunt for a president of baseball operations. They ran into trouble seeking permission for many executives due in large part to the fact it would’ve been a lateral move.
In response, Alderson explained that he would take over as the head of baseball operations for 2021 and the Mets would hire a general manager under him.
