Sandy Alderson announced some excellent news prior to Thursday’s game with the Pirates — he is stepping down as president of the Mets.
Steve Cohen said in a statement:
“When I asked Sandy to come back to the team, it was for a defined period of time and with a specific mandate — revive our culture and this iconic franchise for our fans, partners and employees. Sandy has done those very things and more and we have begun a search for his successor. When we find that person, I have asked Sandy to continue in a new role as special advisor to me and the senior leadership team.
