The names on radar in Mets’ complex, intriguing GM search
Modal Trigger
Fred and Jeff Wilpon are split about hiring a GM who is more old school or more analytics-driven. The Mets’ rough timeline for naming a general-manager successor to Sandy Alderson is to have a list of roughly 10 to 12 candidates by the end of this month, then pare that further to perhaps a half-dozen to be interviewed and have someone in place prior to the Nov. 4-8 GM meetings.
At the moment, you can believe the Mets are searching wide to make sure they unearth and consider every viable candidate. Or you can believe a dysfunctional group is casting about in multiple directions without a clear vision of what they want in the job or a disciplined way to find that person.
