Heyman On Mets, Valentine, Yankees, Padres

By Zachary Links | October 29, 2010 at 5:48pm CDT

New Mets GM Sandy Alderson is going into his new position with an open mind and the understanding that he has a lot of work ahead of him, writes Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.  While we've already heard that J.P. Ricciardi and Paul DePodesta could join Alderson in Queens, Heyman suggests that another one of the GM's former co-workers could make the trip as well.  A's executive Grady Fuson could possibly join the Mets front office, though Alderson has suggested to some friends that he'll remain in Oakland.  Even Omar Minaya could return to the club in some capacity as he has a relationship with Alderson and "a fondness" for owner Fred Wilpon.  Let's see what else Heyman has for us..

  • Earlier this week Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports wondered if the Brewers could afford Bobby Valentine, a fair concern considering the team's limited budget and the ex-manager's rumored seven-figure salary at ESPN.  However, owner Mark Attanasio could be willing to shell out the big bucks to land Bobby V as he is said to be concerned about ticket sales slumping following two losing seasons.  Valentine would certainly qualify as a dynamic hire and could make enough of a splash to boost attendance and TV revenues.
  • Former Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes is believed to have several opportunities after winning the silver medal in the Mets' GM search.  We learned earlier this week that Byrnes could wind up in San Diego due to his ties to the club's front office and most notably owner Jeff Moorad.  Heyman says that Byrnes could land with the Padres even if DePodesta doesn't head east for a gig with the Mets.
  • After firing pitching coach Dave Eiland, the Yankees are in the market for a replacement.  One possibility for the job is Rick Kranitz, who was the pitching coach for Joe Girardi in Florida.

    What about Joe Kerrigan? Has former ties with the Yankees.

    As much I would hate losing him as a fan, Righetti has to be at or near the top of the list for a Yankees pitching coach search. However, I think he likes it in SF and doesn’t have any plans of leaving. He has been here for a while.

      Righetti is staying. He has Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez, Madison Bumgarner(all under 27)and an excellent bullpen to work with.

        But what if he’s interested in more of challenge (recovering AJ and Joba, and developing Hughes) or wants to prove his work in SF is no fluke?

          dave knows about losing in NY and how the fans get. in the early-mid-80’s i remember him being like a god in NY but by the time 89/90 came, the papers ran him out of here.
          u have to have a certain personality type to handle the criticism that comes with playing here when u dont win.

    As a Braves fan, I find the hiring of Alderson very disturbing. I really hope the Wilpon crew screws this up, too.

    I love the idea of the Mets bringing DePodesta to the fold, but they better keep Ricciardi far, FAR away. He’s a recipe for disaster. Ask Toronto.
