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...
The Mets search for a president of baseball operations has lasted two seasons and will now go on to three. At the GM meetings in California this week, team president Sandy Alderson admitted that at this time the Mets are only looking to hire someone for the general manager position. Speaking for the first time since the end of the season, Alderson discussed the Mets front office and why some...
The 2021 league year officially came to a close when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series. (The Mets are now the only NL East team to not win a World Series in the 21st century.) With that came a drove of news in terms of player personnel as the 2022 league years gets under way, as well as some routine disappointments with regards to the Mets’ front office search. Let’s look at...
Ahead of the GM meetings, which begin Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports that the NY Mets are not expected to hire a new head of baseball operations this weekend. Instead, team president Sandy Alderson will continue to lead the baseball operations until a hire is made.

Per MMOs Michael Mayer, the Mets are unlikely to hire Red Sox executive Raquel Ferreira. Her name was first floated as a candidate over the weekend and the Red Sox granted the Mets permission to speak to Ferreira yesterday, the question was if she was interested in the job. Ferreria has been with the Red Sox for the last 23 years and currently reports directly to Chaim Bloom. Ferreira has played...
We’re now a month into the Mets’ offseason, and they still don’t have a primary decision maker in place for the front office (the only team in baseball without one) nor a manager (just one of two teams without one). It’s not like they’re not trying, though, which makes the process even more cumbersome. Let’s look at what’s gone on this week. More Denials...
I’m not going to try and sugarcoat it. This past season — and, more specifically, since the All-Star break — was rough on the New York Mets and the fan base. Between all the injuries to start the year, two general managers getting pushed to the side because of their own transgressions, the thumbs-down fiasco, and, you know, the 29-45 second-half performance, there was plenty to...
Update, 10/25/21 at 6:44 PM EST Well, that escalated quickly…or, it didn’t at all. Here’s the latest from Mayer on Scott Harris and the Mets: Update: Giants GM Scott Harris has told the Mets he’s not joining their organization. He talked to the Mets about their front office opening last week. — Mike Mayer (@mikemayer22) October 25, 2021 So, instead of keeping one...
