Sandy Alderson Diagnosed With Treatable Form Of Cancer

By Steve Adams | December 4, 2015 at 11:28am CDT

The Mets announced that general manager Sandy Alderson has been diagnosed with a treatable form of cancer (via Newsday’s Marc Carig). Alderson will undergo eight to 12 weeks of chemotherapy and miss the upcoming Winter Meetings, according to the club. ESPN New York’s Adam Rubin tweets that he will continue his duties as GM of the team, however.

Alderson, 68, was named general manager of the Mets following the 2010 season and has played a vital role in the Mets’ return to contention and, in 2015, to the World Series. Alderson’s personal health, however, is clearly a far more important matter than his lengthy and impressive track record as a baseball executive.

MLBTR expresses its best wishes to the Mets organization, the friends and family of Alderson, and of course to Alderson himself as we join the baseball community in hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Wish him the best. Chemo can be really tough.

    Treatable form of cancer is like winning the bad luck lottery. Sure it sucks but there could have been worse news.

    Good luck Alderson and best wishes to you and your family.

    I wish him the best. He has brought my team back to contention and I hope his staff can make what ever moves needed to make his dream realized

    Wonder is this news has any direct tie in to that night he passed out during the playoff press conference? Either way get well soon!

    Hope he gets better quickly. Last time I saw a headline like this, it was about Flip Saunders.

      Yeah they stressed how treatable his was too. Bad omen, or maybe just something they say most times.

        Many if not most cancers are “treatable” in some way. That doesn’t mean it is curable, nor that it won’t lead to one’s demise. Tremendous advances are happening and buying time is definitely a good thing, as is improving one’s quality of life. My cancer is treatable but not curable, and I know how much other people want and need to hear a positive outlook. My very best thoughts go out to Alderson for as much success in his fight as is possible.
