The New York Mets are still in search of a candidate to run their baseball operations. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, Josh Byrnes has emerged as a target for them after six years in the Dodgers organization.
Sources: One of the names that the Mets have discussed internally re: head of baseball operations is that of Josh Byrnes, a sr. VP for the Dodgers. Byrnes spoke to the Phillies last spring before withdrawing his name from consideration — and before PHI hired David Dombrowski.
Byrnes was one of the first hires after Andrew Friedman took as president of baseball operations with the Dodgers.
