New York Mets president Sandy Alderson will step down at the conclusion of a search for his successor, the team announced on Thursday.
Alderson will become a special advisor to owner Steve Cohen.
"For me personally and for the organization, it's the right time for this transition," Alderson said in a statement. "We are having a successful season, we have made several key additions to our senior leadership team and we have built a strong and forward-thinking culture. When the time comes, I am looking forward to continuing to support Steve, Alex and the organization in a new role.
