Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports that former Washington Nationals assistant general manager Adam Cromie is among the candidates in the mix to be named Mets general manager.
Cromie walked away from baseball in 2017 to pursue a legal career.
He was named the director of baseball operations and analytics for the Nationals in 2010. From there he continued to move up through the organization being promoted to assistant GM at the end of the 2014 season. He began with the Nationals in 2007.
Joel Sherman adds that Cromie has “a real shot” to be the next Mets general manager. Sherman later reported that as of Tuesday afternoon no offer has been made to Cromie but he is the frontrunner and has done multiple interviews. He speculates an offer could come in the next 24-48 hours unless Steve Cohen doesn’t like what he hears in his conversations with Cromie.
Since leaving baseball he’s worked for the Jones Day law firm after getting his law degree from Georgetown, which he pursued while working for the Nationals. At Jones Day, Cromie has counseled clients in sports and entertainment and has represented several unlisted sports franchises in arbitration proceedings.
