In the wake of former New York Mets general manager Jared Porter’s dismissal, the team has named assistant GM Zack Scott as acting GM in his absence, per a statement from the team.
Per Mets team president Sandy Alderson:
“Zack has plenty of championship experience to draw upon. He has been an integral part of our decision-making process since his arrival. The entire baseball operations staff, including myself, will continue to work collaboratively.”
Scott, 43, was hired as the Mets’ senior vice president and assistant GM on December 23. A former colleague of Porter’s, Scott spent 17 seasons in the Boston Red Sox organization, elevating to the position of assistant GM in charge of analytics, baseball systems, and advance and professional scouting in 2018.
