After resigning as manager on Sunday, Terry Collins has accepted a position with the Mets’ front office. As a ‘special assistant to the general manager,’ Collins will be working mainly in player development, an area that general manager Sandy Alderson said he was displeased with this season.
"I was disappointed with the performance of some of those players (who were called up this season) and their preparation for playing at the major league level," said Alderson.
Collins, prior to his Mets managerial hiring, worked in player development for a few organizations, including serving as the minor league field coordinator for the Mets in 2010.
