J.P. Ricciardi Agrees To Three Year Extension With Mets
J.P. Ricciardi has agreed to a three-year extension to remain special assistant to Mets GM Sandy Alderson according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Ricciardi has helped Alderson with many of the player decisions made in the last two years. His role is not nearly as defined as that of Paul DePodesta who runs the Scouting and Player Development side of the Mets.
Well at least somebody got an extension from the Mets.

I can’t tell you how much I want another G-Men Pats SB just to see Osi sit on Brady’s head one more time.
I’ve heard Osi’s into some freaky stuff. He might actually enjoy that.
No thanks.
Signed,
All the other NFL fans.
LMFAO!
Lmao.. Fair enough. You won fair and square, everything from luck, to more luck, to even more luck and good play contributed to those 2 SB victories.
tuckrulesayswhat?
I wonder if the Mets realize or care about how bad this looks. I mean – this couldn’t wait until spring training?
Maybe he got an offer of an official position with another team and they had to do this now.
LMAO……yeah right thats it another team made him an official offer….lol
Interesting this came from Boston and not from New York. Bet they didn’t want this leaked out.
He’s from the Boston area, I think.
This says to expect continued seasons of bad player moves and possibly Riccairdi moving into Sandy’s position if the current GM retires at the end of his contract.
Sigh.
“Ricciardi has helped Alderson with many of the player decisions made in the last two years.”
OH REALLY!!!! If thats the case he deserves to be FIRED!!!! NOT get a contract extension…
This is the same guy who did such a great job in Toronto….smh….DOOM & GLOOM in Mets land STILL Sandy couldnt just let us enjoy the cutting of Jason Bay he had to throw this crap on the grill
This reminds me of when Minaya was signed to an extension or new contract back in the middle of a collapse. But of course this is different and is acceptable now because…well i guess because it involved Sandy’s regime so now it’s okay.
What the hell has JP done to get an extension and what ballplayer did the Mets not sign in order to resign Ricciardi.
This ballclub deserves all the garbage i hope they have coming to them with this disgraceful front office and besides with just getting power back a few days ago i’m too busy with other things to even begin to designate any of my valuable time discussing this disgrace that was once a team I enjoyed being a fan of
Bayonne.
This is what the Mets brass meant when they were talking about “ACCOUNTABILITY” throughout the organization….Oh wait…..accountability wouldve been the Mets parting ways with Ricciardi since every deal he helped Sandy make have made backfired and/or ended up terrible.
Gotta love these double talkers we have running the team…Sandy’s skillset, as Steve Phillips would say is that of a double talking lawyer.
But he speaks english so well
Omar …Mr. YaKnowWhatImSayin….
I like JP better…he speaks english so well
Ricciardi gets a contract extension and DePodesta gets a Twitter account.
