New York Mets GM Sandy Alderson has spent the last 35 years of his life in baseball. The last eight have been as the team’s general manager. During his tenure, which began on Oct. 29, 2010, the Mets reached the summit by going to the 2015 World Series. Unfortunately, during the majority of his time in New York, his team has been trying to avoid the National League East cellar.
Alderson currently on leave from the team due to the reoccurrence of cancer. Owner Fred Wilpon must recognize his GM’s absence from the team is a prime opportunity to completely revamp the Mets management and procedures.
