Sandy Alderson is “more than just a frontrunner” to become the next Mets GM, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The former A’s GM impressed the Mets and will likely win the job if the next phase of the interview process goes well.
Jon Heyman of SI.com confirms that Alderson is the favorite and reports that the Mets seem unlikely to hire him in tandem with another executive. Logan White of the Dodgers, Josh Byrnes, Allard Baird of the Red Sox, Rick Hahn of the White Sox and Dana Brown of the Blue Jays are also candidates for the job.
Alderson was the A's GM for more than a decade and has since worked for the Padres and in the commissioner's office. He will meet at Citi Field with the Mets tomorrow. For more on the longtime executive, click here.
Yess! Maybe something will actually change…
It doesn’t matter who they sign, I just want to know who the next mgr is .. GM signs a player, coaches motivate .. something this team desperately needs
You mean Baird isn’t in the running?! Ffffuuuuuuuuuuu-

Go for it Mets, anything is better than Minaya anyway.
Just give the guy the damn job already so he can get to work…
Seriously…..just give him the job and move on. I am already sick of this story. I want a manager and a change. It won’t happen until he is hired
Just give the guy the damn job already so he can get to work…
