Mets Hire Zack Scott As Assistant General Manager

By Connor Byrne | December 23, 2020 at 3:38pm CDT

The Mets have hired Zack Scott as their senior vice president/assistant general manager, Jon Heyman of MLB Network was among those to report. Scott was previously Boston’s assistant GM.

Scott spent the past 17 years in various roles with the Red Sox, which put him on the map for the Mets as they sought a new GM. They ultimately gave that job to Jared Porter, who worked with Scott in Boston’s front office for several years. Scott reportedly was the runner-up to Porter for the position.

“I’ve known Zack for over 15 years, and worked with him daily for 10 of those years,” Porter said of Scott (via Anthony DiComo of MLB.com). “He’s a strong leader who is a very creative and dynamic thinker. Zack is well rounded in all areas of baseball operations.”

Scott’s addition is the latest high-profile move for a Mets front office that has undergone significant changes since new owner Steve Cohen took over in November. Before hiring Porter and Scott, New York parted with general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and brought back former GM Sandy Alderson as team president.

    Never trust a person with two first names. (In all seriousness, the new-look Mets are looking good..)

      Mets are really Cohen places. My boy Stevie has got dollary-doo’s up to wazoo. We have a sage…who used his military experience to destroy cancer in battle. Now we’ve got Porter and Scott rounding out the A team. Don’t. Mess. With. Us. #LFGM

    I was a little concerned after the early rejections, but I think the Mets wound up doing well for themselves with Porter and Scott (though only time will tell, of course). In any case, this hire probably won’t stop the Theo speculation by Mets fans.

    The Theo speculation will be coming from Yankees fans if NYY does not win the WS. It will take Theo to break the Johnny Damon bridesmaid curse. When Cashman didnt want to extend nor pay Johnny after the 2009 WS win and he went to Detroit, he said that The Yankees will be good, but I put them over the top. They haven’t been back since. Hence, they will need Theo and his curse-breaking capabilities if they fall short this coming season.

    Yankees already have the best GM in baseball. No thanks on the Theo speculation.

        Same, but Cashman *is* still a top 5 GM.

        Yankees have won more baseball games since 1998 (Cashman’s first year as GM) than any other franchise. If winning the most games matters, then Cashman is the best. You play to win the game.

          Besides Beane, have any other GM’s been in place since 1998? Aside from the fact the game is entirely different now than it was 20 years ago, and what worked then isn’t as effective now, can’t really use a 1998 to 2020 comparison when the other front offices don’t go back that far.

          How about the last 5 years? By far the highest payroll. Not the most wins. Without looking, the Dodgers and Astro’s have definitely had more wins with less payroll.. Last 5 years Yanks have one division title, three WC and one 4th place finish.

          It’s about wins, but also about resources. The old question of “What could the Rays do if they actually had any money” has been answered. See exhibit A, the Dodgers.

          Cashman is great. I agree top 5, I’d go so far as to say maybe even top 3. But seems like the Yanks FO is pretty clearly behind the Dodgers and Rays FO at this point.

          Don’t know much about Zack Scott other than he helped put together one heck of a roster over there in Boston. They were in a dog fight with Baltimore for fourth place in the AL east.

          Thanks but let’s see. Long way to go to be as good as the top teams. Fuld and dombroski should also give you a productive team.

    Good for him. He was getting close to that “Kim Ng border” where if you don’t get a GM/AGM job after 20 years, then your time has passed barring a Miami miracle.

      He was AGM with the Sox. He gets the SVP title to add now, but seems largely lateral.
