It would be generous to suggest that Jeff Wilpon said all the right things Sunday afternoon at Citi Field, as the Mets’ COO held a rare interview session to discuss the state of his team. He didn’t. Sandy Alderson got too much blame, and you won’t feel any better now about the team’s payroll aspirations than you did previously. Nevertheless, on the Wilpon family public-speaking scale, this one registered as a win. Jeff Wilpon affirmed that the Mets’ next head of baseball operations, with a title to be determined, will come from the outside, the right call.
“You know how to take the reservation. You just don’t know how to hold the reservation.”
