On Thursday evening, the New York Mets announced the club has agreed to a four-year deal with Billy Eppler to be the team’s new general manager.
“Billy has the experience, character and respect of the baseball community that will allow him to attract the players and front office talent to lead the Mets forward,” Mets owner, chairman and CEO Steve Cohen said. “He is a leader who has worked in two of baseball’s biggest markets and his talents and personality will move us closer to my goal of sustained success.”
Eppler, 46, was most recently the general manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
