At least Bobby V proved he can win in NY.

Looks like it is either Josh Byrnes (who had a followup meeting Monday) and fellow former GM Sandy Alderson. (who has his followup meeting today).

My favorites is for the younger Byrnes...whom has served 4 years under Theo Epstein.

Not that there's anything WRONG with that!

The Mets have agreed in principle to make Sandy Alderson their new GM, a source confirmed Wednesday. The club is expected to introduce Alderson in a news conference Friday.

I'm actually very happy with this move, granted hes not young, but he does have a proven track record and the only way a guy like Alderson takes this job is if he does have autonomy as decision maker, something regardless of what he said, I don't think Omar had.

Mets picked up Jose Reyes' $ 11 million option and announced that 2011 tickets will be reduced by 14%. For a 4th place team..they gotta do better than this!!

MedicCook · 11-03-2010, 07:18 PM

Mets also sign JP Riccardi as the Asst GM. A very smart move for them. JP did a good job in Toronto with limited resources and putting JP and Sandy back together is very smart.

Dave128 · 11-04-2010, 09:26 AM

I hope they start making some moves with the pitching staff. I'm not as concerned with the fielders.

I thought all was well when I heard they signed Alderson, but when they announced they signed JP Ricciardi I loled. He was a disaster in Toronto and was probably even more disliked up there than Omar was in NY

And the hits just keep on coming...

Mets clubhouse manager Charlie Samuels was caught on wiretaps placing bets through a mobbed-up sports gambling ring law enforcement official sources told the Daily News Friday. Samuels was suspended by the club last week.

What??? Not fired???

bscottskangum · 11-05-2010, 03:34 PM

He'll be placed in young player development somewhere

Well, if you do that you would have to consider if he won or lost his bets... you don't want a guy that cant make predictions scouting for you

Were these baseball bets? If so, I see no good reason not to "Pete Rose" the guy! Just my

, and worth every penny.

Mets forced to release Takahashi after sides failed agree to a new contract. Seems Hisanori was asking just a little too much.

After giving Ollie Perez $ 36 million for three years...could it have been that much???

MedicCook · 11-05-2010, 11:12 PM

The Mets need to focus 100% on pitching. It is a pitchers park. They need to keep the score low and manufactor runs.

I believe he wanted 15 million for 3 years. A little much for a reliever.

So...does Backman get the job???
