One of the biggest, if not the biggest questions for the New York Mets is going to be who becomes the general manager in 2019. If they elect to go outside the organization, the perfect choice would be Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington because he knows how to win in the short term and improve a team’s future in the farm system.
Over the weekend, Buster Olney of ESPN tweeted that Cherington is one of the people the Mets have been doing background work on. In addition to Olney’s tweet, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN mentioned Cherington as one of the top choices for the position
Talk to people around the game, and Ben Cherington's name keeps coming up as a likely top candidate in the #Mets search for a Sandy Alderson replacement.
