DECEMBER 13: The Mets have officially announced Porter’s hiring as general manager. He signed a four-year contract.
DECEMBER 12: The Mets have focused their search for a new general manager on Arizona Diamondbacks Assistant GM Jared Porter, per MLB Insider Jon Heyman (via Twitter). Porter has been talked about in conjunction with a number of front office openings, including the recent Angels’ opening, for which he was a finalist. Joel Sherman of the New York Post confirms that the Mets are now working to finalize a four-year agreement with Porter (Twitter links). The two sides are merely working out some final details, adds Heyman.
Porter’s background is in professional scouting, though he isn’t limited to any one area in his current role with the Diamondbacks. Prior to joining the Diamondbacks, he was the Director of Professional Scouting for the Cubs for two seasons, a title he held with the Red Sox from 2012 to 2015. Currently, he’s a Senior VP & Assistant GM to Mike Hazen in Arizona, a position he’s held for since just after winning the World Series with the Cubs. Hazen hired Porter in November of 2016.
Porter has contributed to four World Series winners, including a pair of “cursebreakers” in Boston and Chicago. Sherman offers this assessment of Porter: “Reputation as personable, hardworking, scout at heart who knows analytics, not afraid to make decisions. Theo Epstein disciple.” Porter will work closely now with Sandy Alderson to head up the Mets baseball operations department.
Back in 2017, Porter was kind enough to grant an interview to MLBTR, which can be found in two parts: here and here.
Interesting. Hopefully, he can do a good job as the Mets general manager.
hmm. i feel like he’s either going to be very good or very bad.
Hahaha
the credentials seem pretty good, but I just wonder if some of these guys working under big GM names are key contributors or just beneficiaries of being in the right situation.
Yeah because the Dbacks have such a great history of making smart decisions. My guess is that the Mets are grasping at straws and all they could get is an Arizona castoff.
I land here too. Just because he was part of 4 champion FOs doesn’t mean he can run a team on his own.
But his resume is honestly better than what I expected the Mets would end up with so who knows. He’ll have a rich owner. The Q will be will the owner run the team and then blame the GM for the owners moves? Or actually let him run the show? Or does Sandy run everything? Okay lots of Qs
I know az tanked last year, but they’ve made some shrewd moves too since 16
You’re thinking of the dave Stewart/ tony larussa dbacks; that’s the crew that made the dansby trade. Mike Hazen and his crew have been damn good
I was just going to say that. It’s an interesting move and the truth is it wouldn’t hurt to get someone who has been around long enough to see what winning looks like, yet give them the opportunity to pour their energy into the job.
Just type the word “question”. It’s really not that hard.
Jeff Luhnow worked under John Mozeliak till 2011 as director of scouting… I think Luhnow was the genius of the group to tell you the truth. A ridiculous amount of the players drafted under him were significant contributors from something like 2009-2015. Then not to mention the players he drafted in Houston as well. “Don’t worry about the money, we will figure that out later, just get us Verlander.”- Jim Crane
This is a classic “touch the magic” hire. There are only a handful of Epstein’s, Friedman’s and Mozeliek’s in baseball but every team wants to “touch the magic” so they attempt to snatch up their underlings. It’s like college football and Nick Saban.
Think about it, there are 30 GM positions in baseball… how many of those positions are filled by people who have worked under those three? 12?
Says the moron who’s name starts with “lolz”
Hmm maybe if you don’t really have anything to say you don’t actually HAVE to comment.
Hahaha
Not sure how I feel about this one but he certainly can’t be worse than Brodie……
This is valid.
He’ll have Sandy there to help, but this will be his first opportunity to show he’s more than just support material.
I thought Cohen said he didn’t want to pay someone to learn on the job? I do like the hire as a precursor to bringing Theo in next year to take over for Sandy.
That was an odd comment he made in that interview. Right after saying that he explained how he does just that in his investment company so I dont think he meant that literally
Nick…I think you’re right. Steve Cohen is likely smart enough to know that a sharp person never stops learning.
That’s not gonna happen.
I really think that was more of a swipe at Brody who had zero club experience
He was directly referring to VanWagenen and his absolute lack of front office experience. He wasn’t referring to a first time GM who has years of experience in a front office. That comment was a stab at the incompetence of the Wilpons and their hiring a player agent as GM.
It’s possible he was referring to the President of Baseball Operations role. The Mets seemed to have pivoted for the moment, and Alderson will now be serving in that role for the year, which means they could bring in a GM who could mentor under Alderson for 2021. Maybe Porter is great and he ultimately is elevated to that role, or maybe they bring in someone above him in a years time.
He was referring more to a hire like our last GM who really had no related experience whatsoever.
So the same guy who had his fingerprints all over the Zack Greinke contract, Madison Bumgarner contract and allowed Paul Goldschmidt to get away? Typical New York Mets different chapter same book.
How do you know he wasn’t opposed to those signings? Or that he wanted to get rid of Goldschmidt? He was an assistant GM, not GM, and you don’t know what ownership had to say. You sound like the type to find something to criticize no matter what.
Probably a Yankee fan. They are starting to get worried about us. Lol
Hey Mr Met….worry about your sorry ass team and stop with the negative Yankee comments again…..when you win as often and as much as the Yankees do, then talk…until then…you know the drill!
The Mets were the last NY team to make the WS and they will be the next lol.
And I’m not even predicting the Mets to go to WS next year. We just have time since you guys seem to be taking forever LOL
As often and as much as the Yankees do? What does that even mean? Are you one of those Yankees fans who think championships from decades ago reflects well on you?
ROFL@Metsfan22. I see you are continuing in your tradition of making friends everywhere you go. =D
Lol
Lol.
Lol. What an ass clown ! 12 years and 2$ billion has not gotten the Yankees anything. Be very afraid
Hey clown…..Why don’t you check the record as far as how often the Yankees are in the playoffs pal….that’s what I meant…..missing the playoffs once in the last 25 years or so, isn’t too bad a reason to be a Yankee fan rather than a Met fan…..
Speaking of ass clowns…..what the hell is a chriscala…..check out who’s been in the playoffs most in the last 25 years! eat that ass wipe!
Yeah bc Yankees fans knew that they were better because we had Wilpons. Now with Cohen here y’all scared. It’s just funny
Making the playoffs a crap ton of times and not winning a thing is pretty much the same thing as not making them at all. LOL, get off your high horse.
Not missing the playoffs is your test? The Yanks are always a bridesmaid tho.
MetsFan22 As a Yankee fan, I will start worrying about the Mets after I stop worrying about the Yankees.
Oh yeah, they run a lot of flags up the pole for playoff appearances.
@MetsFan22-Getting worried about what? Your still not winning the NL East next season even though you finally have an owner willing to spend money for a change. Be careful not to start buying championships now.
That translates to the reason to be a fan of a team is because they win more. That’s the definition of a fairweather fan, which is what most yankee fans are ultimately.
Yea 1995 is relevant today!
What a nice cherry picked timeline. Oh 3 HOF’ers just happened to come up and start a dynasty then? What a coincidence he starts here. hahaha
Yeah that’s the way it should be. But a lot of Yankee fans just throw shade at the Mets all the time
Yankees Suck
yeah god forbid we spend 324 million on one player hoping he puts us over the top
just an observation I would rather my team suck and miss the playoffs every year than have a massive payroll and lose in the first or second round every year and adding 1 player for 300 million thinking it would make a difference.
4 times
NO ONE is worried about the lol mets!
rocky7: How many of those Yankees championships were in YOUR lifetime?
Actually, I don’t think and baseball fan is even close to worried about what the Mets are doing. The Mets are perennial bottom dwellers and the embarrassment of the l;ague, they will continue to go nowhere while the Yankees continue to rack up the wins.
2009 was 11 years ago without a Series Appearance. Your prospects like Sanchez and Andujar are now been shown to be flashes in the pan. Dont be talking like it is over a decade ago, rocky7. Just hope DJ resigns and doesnt leave for somewhere else. And sign some starting pitchers, Cashman.
Hah, when you win as often and as much as the Yankees do! What the heck have they won lately.
Have to agree with rct. That’s a lot of opinion on a guy that we are supposed to take your word for. Care to post a link demonstrating your claims that these were his ideas and preferences?
The “oRaNgE tEaM bAd !” crowd is out tonight. Your obsessions are flattering, but a little uncomfortable.
Maybe if the mutts just say the league is rigged, they can just pretend that they won the pennant?
Mutts…. so clever… is it original material?
So clever like you “marlinshavenofanbase” screen name?
Troll
An owner who’s a criminal, more PED users than any team in history, the biggest postseason choke EVER, and the worst fan base in all of professional sports, classy organization those yankees. Let’s pizz on the Mets fans who finally have some good news. NY is an NL town. Always was, always will be. When the sleeping monster wakes up it’s all over for the low class tenants in the Bronx. See ya!
As a Mets fan… do us all a favor and be quiet. You sound like one of them.
Yankee fans don’t have to pizz on you, you pizz your pants every season. “NY is a NL town” first off NY is city, not a town i.e. NYC NOT NYT, see if you can wrap your simple little Mets brain around that one & secondly the Yankees ran the dodgers & giants out of town over 50yrs ago & it won’t be long now b4 you’ll be joining them. Mets fans, good grief!
“[insert city name] is a ______ town” is a common expression. very strange nitpick
“New York Its a hell of a town, the Bronx is up and the batteries down”
up town
down town
etc etc
New York is frequently referred to as a town.
Hey NYState of lost your mind, since Curt Schilling bled on your parade and the unbeatable Mariano Rivera was beaten and then the curse was broken, the Yankees have been to the World Series once, and won it with the current Phillies manager at the helm. In that same timeframe, the Dodgers have been there 3 times, winning once as well. The Giants have been there three times and won 3 rings. The Cubs broke the curse and were there once and won too, and so did the White Sox, so i guess even the second city Chicago has more rings than New York. Kindergarteners from the Yankees last championship are legally getting married in all 50 states and having kids of their own. You want to throw smack….. Tampa has been to the World Series twice since 2004( yeah they lost both, but they made it) and oh, yeah, the Red Sox are 4-0 in World Series since they broke that curse iduring the 2004 season. ( PS The Royals have as many WS wins as the Yankees, and appeared twice. The Cards were 2-2 in the Series since 2004. Need I go on?)
Let me amend my statements: since 2004 when the Red Sox broke the curse, kindergarteners in all 50 states are legally getting married. Not since the Yankees last championship. That was in 2009, with Joe Girardi and George Steinbrenner. Sadly, George is already gone over 10 years too.
He had nothing to do with the Greinke contract. That was Dave Stewart and Tony la Russa
Gold Schmidt is not nearly the player he was since he left Arizona so maybe he knew something we didn’t. Also can’t use Grienke because they got several good years then traded him and got a haul.
This man is a fool, I can prove it
I met him at a dinner party once and I played “Baba O’Riley” by The Who and I said “what’s the name of this song”
He said “Teenage Wasteland”
Don’t trust a stupid stuffed shirt like him, he’ll be nothing but a sham
Thanks for listening
Is that supposed to be some sort of joke?
i thought it was funny. I get it
Lots of people think that’s the title. Meanwhile, I was at a dinner party recently and he was telling me about a fool he once met who asked him about a Who song…
Lol
I really don’t know how to respond. This just can’t be a legitimate attempt to prove someone is a fool. It has to be a joke. It’s just difficult to “see” the joke in this post.
jeez cripes, sorry for trying to have a little fun!
Have fun with .220 McCann after two years
Who wrote Donna Lee? Charlie Parker? Miles Davis? And what does it have to do with Charles Mingus?
Homerrun hire nice job Sandy!
And you know this how?
Better than Ng
Disappointing. They could have taken the money saved by signing McCann instead of Realmuto and offered more money to Theo. If Dombrowski could be convinced to drop his little expansion draft fantasy with more money, then Theo could be convinced not to take a year off if the money was right too.
This doesn’t make any sense. What does one guy have to do with the other?
Theo wants his next opportunity to be with a group owning a club.
Epstein was still under contract for ~$10M for 2021 when he decided to quit. Something to consider.
So your argument is because Dombrowski did so would Epstein? Is one a clone of the other it at least a twin? This is just the stupidest argument.
Nonsense, the Mets contacted theo but Theo is taking time off and not looking for an opportunity right away. Do some research.
A) this makes no sense and B) it assumes that Theo even wants the NY job, which he has expressed zero interest in.
Why is it disappointing? Because you don’t know who Jared Porter is? Also, what does a front office signing have to do with roster payroll?
Epstein is not looking for a GM job. If/when he gets back into the market, it will be for a POBO role and not a GM role. If anything, this hire seems to give the Mets a better chance of hiring Theo next year. Sandy is only ‘filling in’ right now and the fact that they brought in a Theo disciple for this role sure sets things up nicely for Theo to come aboard next year as POBO, the same role he held in Chicago. It sure seems funny that their two finalists have both worked for Theo in the past.
Theo said he isnt taking a FO job this year and might want to try something besides baseball next.
I’m sure Cohen can ‘convince’ him to come back to baseball. The only other job I see him taking is something in the commissioners office so he can take over for Manfred in a couple of years.
Stop with the Epstein, you’re a broken record. It ain’t happening
Little theo epstein disciple.
Good luck.
Theo said he would like to get into ownership for his next stop.
He’s known for player development, Mets sticking with their plan to truly build up their players just like the rays are doing, as a Mets fan I love it
Nobody could possibly be worse than Brodie…………………………..
.
Well, maybe Bob Scheffing!!!!
His resume suggests that all the tools to be a good GM are there.
Sounds good on paper. Hope it works out.
Maybe this hire is connected with Theo down the line. Theo wants an ownership stake, Steve Cohen has 85% of the Mets. Porter worked for Theo in Chicago and Boston. Thinking there might be a bigger plan here down the road.
95%
Part of four titles, scouting and more. He’s paid his dues and seen winning up close.
I like that the Mets are being smart about their moves so far; not necessarily going for the big names, just making improvements. I don’t know much about Porter outside of his resume, which looks decent.
Mets have done this every year.. Jay Bruce instead of Michael Brantley. Jed Lowrie instead of DJ Lemahieu, Wilson Ramos instead of Yasmani Grandal, it just seems like year after year their “big signings” backfire. All of the above were generally considered cheaper, safer options, look what happened…
You’re suffering from the withdrawls from decades of “Wilponitis”. I get it. Try to have faith in the new owner.
The difference is, they made multiple moves already, not one-and-dones. While they still have holes, they’ve addressed 3 big needs already. While they aren’t there yet, they are already significantly improved. More to come too I’m sure.
More heartache & misery. Playing for the Mets is like playing in real heavy shoes or running uphill EVERYWHERE you go & after you leave the organization you have to be demetted which for some people can take years. For Mets fans there’s no hope. Carry on.
I can’t argue with this, but I suspect that there is a difference. In the past, the Mets were simply trying to save money, and plug a hole here or there. In this case, I believe they are trying to build out a more complete roster. Add depth. We won’t know until we see the final product.
I think I really like this move. I think.
As most here know, I love to praise Mike Hazen for his work with keeping the D-backs consistent contenders. I’d like to think that Porter shares some of those ideologies, but nobody knows yet. I have a good feeling though; they aren’t hunting for big names. Smart hires only.
The only thing wrong about this hire is that he’s not a woman.
Shut up.
Words hurting you wah wah
No, stupid is hurting me.
it’s 2020. How is it that everyone doesn’t understand that race, creed, religion, sexual orientation and even gender has zero bearing on the judgement of a person’s value. professionally in particular but anywhere in general.
I just understand that in this case, a man got the job because he was qualified. Don’t know his race, creed, religion or sexual orientation, and don’t recall Porter’s experience in those areas being discussed in the article, and doubt it came up in the interviews. If it did, I hope he quoted Bill Murray, and said he was willing to learn.
Theo Epstein disciple. Lol. Please.
Shapiro > Hazen > Porter
Not sure what the hell Sherman is talking about lol
Which one of these guys does not have a World Series ring?
Homerun hire
Amazing the expertise here.
…and the professionalism.
Hey Yankee fans, stuff this in your pipe and smoke it. Neener neener.
Disappointing.
Ive been a Mets fan since 1975. Alderson is there so I couldnt care less who the “GM” was going to be. If this guy isnt good then they’ll get someone else in a few years. This GM job was literally the very least of my concerns.
Yes. Fans overrate GMs now. In cases where teams have a PoBO, or in the Mets case, a President who has run baseball operations previously, then the GM isn’t much different than an AGM. Title inflation. We wouldn’t obsesses if a team hired an AGM in the past and we likely shouldn’t here. The main interest is he could end up as the team’s PoBO in a year or so, but not an issue now.
That’s fair. He’s going to have to prove he’s worthy of running baseball operations before Cohen and Alderson turn it over to him. It’s also not impossible a year on they’ll install someone else as President of Baseball Operations above Porter.
As it should be, you people have REAL problems over there. Mcmann, Lol
You realize Sandy is only here until the end of the 2022 season right?
Couldn’t even get one from a proven team
he is gonna clean house, starting with trading McCann
Are you drunk?
With Harry Porter at the helm using his magic how can we lose.
Great hire by the Mets sucks my dbacks are losing
I see alot of Yankee vs mets comments here and all I have to say is for once mets are in a better position going forward for the next couple year. no where near as a massive payroll as the yanks only one real bad contract(cano) best pitcher in baseball on a team friendly deal, tons of homegrown talent. interesting pieces coming up nothing busting down the door but some contributors, passionate owner willing to spend with in reason(so far) willing spend on team infrastructure. I would have to say I like the direction of the team. last thing they need to do is be the Yankees. throwing money at a problem thinking it will fix everything. I deep just because Cohen has deep pockets doesn’t me they have to get every big ticket item but spend wisely quality pieces.
The Mets are actually throwing money at their problems right now, and that’s not a bad thing. The Dodgers and the Yankees actually both address things similarly. As a big market team, the Mets should want to be both like the Dodgers and Yankees, and they seem to be heading in that direction.
Really? The dodgers and Yankees address problems in the same manner? Last offseason
Yankees need SP. they spend 300M on an arm
The dodgers also want to add a star. Two in fact. But they let the 2nd best FA walk to big money, trade a disgruntled SP+an OFer with 5 years of control and a fantastic rookie season… for two stars. Then fill the holes with 2 rookies and another 24 year old, all from the farm
You couldn’t be more wrong
You use money to fill holes, you use your farm system to build the foundation,
That’s how you win, and it’s basically the blueprint for the last several World Series winners. (Not the Yankees). The Dodgers are the gold standard because of their ability to identify and draft young talent, an area where they run rings around the Yankees (pun!) and most other teams. And then to top it off they have all the money they’ll ever need to fill the holes, they also consistently develop young players that other teams would want in trade.
The Yankees have not done well in player development lately, their strength has been identifying cast offs from other teams who have really performed well for them. If they had more luck in player development lately they might have a ring, especially in the starting pitching department. (An area where the Dodgers are really, really good.)
The Mets have a very good core of homegrown talent which they will now be able to secure long term and go to work fixing the holes with money.
Of which Cohen basically has an infinite supply of.
That’s the least of your problems. You ever hear of the Dodgers?
Can’t you post a single comment without offending someone? I’ve been following your posts for days since you arrived and pretty much every single one has been trashing some team, player, or coach. You cause arguments and embarrass yourself and NYY fans in general. Why are you so miserable? What, exactly, did your father do to you? Take a couple of days off and think about why you are so offensive to people. Then come back more chill. Talk baseball, not trash.
It’s funny that the yankee fans truly have the inferiority complex. Thumb suckers. Wah wah wah.
The Mets are making decent moves. Get over it.
Babies.
The ghost of Jerry Blevins, McCann, yeah the Mutts are really winning the offseason! Lol Mets!
Decent moves. Not winning the offseason.
Back to that thumb.
All this worry about the Yankees!!!! Lol! Mets need to worry about The Braves, Nats, and Marlins. Ya know the teams they finished behind! Oof
Has this guy even been an agent before?!?!
This is a wierd hire. Why hire a rookie GM when elite is in the board. The Mets could have had DD or Theo not a disciple. Makes no sense.
Theo wasn’t an option, at least not right now.
Theo not interested, and glad we didn’t even consider DD for a role.
Theo is sitting this year out. Maybe he waits for the Yankee job if the Yankees don’t get to the Series this year and the WFAN-atics start beating the war drums, or God-forbid, the Mets get there and the Yankees don’t.
First, Theo was not about to take a GM job and while they could have offered him President of Baseball Ops, he made it clear he was taking the year off. Second, DD previously said he was not leaving the Nashville group until MLB announced it was delay expansion. Besides, I am not even sure his track record of gutting the minors to obtain stars would work given Brodie already did so and the ownership wants to follow in the mold of the dodgers who seem to hemorrhage minor league talent each year.
DD also built farm systems… look at the Expos and Marlins.
Not asking this to be a jerk, just trying to figure out. What is so great about Sandy Alderson? Wasnt he on the Mets before and they didn’t exactly win? I know 2015, but I tend to regard that as the one year they came out of the blue. Not trying to say he isn’t a winner, just saying that he gets a lot of credit for being great.
Alderson was saddled with a near impossible situation. The owners were so bad, and so broke, he was placed there by MLB to save the sinking ship. He did a very good job in the situation he was in and left a boatload of homegrown, controllable talent.
Simple take:
Porter is highly regarded and has worked under multiple great orgs and baseball leaders. Downside is that he’ll have to step into the role, though he will have a HOF exec mentoring him.
As a Mets fan, I’d far rather have a Stearns or Antonetti or Neander running the Mets, but could be a lot worse.
We went from Fred Wilpon (owner) Jeff Wilpon (PBops) and Brodie Van Wagenen (GM) to Steve Cohen, Sandy Alderson and Jared Porter. I’d call that a significant upgrade.
Contributed to 4 world champions? He was a member of the 2013 Red Sox team as farm director… that wasnt the curse breaker… then the Cubs.
What are the other 2? Do you count the Red Sox championship years after he left? And how did he contribute? Did he make a decision on a player?
Great questions. I was thinking the same. The article lacks research and has incorrect facts.
I googled it… he was a spring training intern in 2004 for the red sox. Then was an intern in Boston in 2005. By 2006 he was Player Development Assistant. Then various scouting positions until he became Scouting Director in 2012. Went to the Cubs in 2016. as Special Assistant . Then in 2017 went to the D Backs.
Looks like he was just in the right place at the right time. No listed accomplishments. Unless he was part of the cheating scandal or the International draft scandal.
I guess that makes the head groundskeeper and restaurant managers qualified to be the Mets GM.
Virtually every scout and baseball person I have spoke with says that he is a very bright guy and tremendous hire.
And unfortunately, the Marlins head groundskeeper might actually end up with a Marlins front office job after your teams does it’s books for the year.
Porter was an intern for the RS in 2004.. I’m betting that he was the once that made the call on Schilling.
He joined the Cubs in 2016, same year as they won the WS.
FWIW, I had the same complaint about Bloom. I think he looks like a good GM, but when he joined the RS, they were talking about all the great moves he made with TB. But unless the writers were in the room, they’d have no idea of whether he loved the Archer trade, hated, or wasn’t even involved.

Bloom seems to be given all the credit for what happened in Tampa. For that to be true, we have to ignore the existence of Erik Neander. I have no idea who was responsible for what, but Bloom and Neander seemed to share responsibilities. We’ll never know who was responsible for what, or if one of the two had the lead role/personality in the work-sharing arrangement.
Just to be different than everyone else. I have no opinion on this hiring. He’s an unknown entity in this role, so those saying it’s a bad hiring or those saying it’s a good hiring are speaking out of their butts. Maybe that was an opinion.
I dont know if it was a good hiring or not. Really dont care. I just would have liked to know who he was and what he has done. MLBTR wasnt very thorough with their report.
I agree, and as I scrolled up I noticed your valid points, particularly about him being an intern for one of those championships. He could be one of those solid contributors that teams value but really shouldn’t be in the lead role, or he may be someone who was blocked and is going to get his moment to shine. And we may not know right away. Sandy is still the experienced hand above him so he may still be in the contributor role at first despite the title. None of us here know.
LIke the McCann signing, not the guy I was hoping for, but seems solid.
Solid signing is a good way to phrase it. The only difference is McCann has a track record as a MLB catcher. Porter is a bit of a mystery, which is why I don’t have much of an opinion on him yet.
You mean he doesn’t have to pass a physical?
This guy was very instrumental in the Zack Greinke contract, Madison Bumgarner contract and the screwing the pooch when it came to Paul Goldschmidt. Mets fans will be regretting this higher within two years.
They went to Jared.
Cohen said he did not want to hire someone who would learn on the job but then that is what he did
I’m stunned that Mike Hill didn’t get the gig. I would’ve thought that the way people were questioning the Marlins letting him go, that there would have been a line jumping to hire Hill.
Hahahahaha! I just can’t keep myself from laughing!
Although, I would’ve been happy with Hill being the Mets GM. Just hearing certain Mets fans talking about Hill being a great hire would’ve been enjoyable. Not Adam Gase enjoyable, but pretty darn close.
I will say, you folks have a lot of opinions.
Good job getting Lindor/Carassco Mr. Porter
