Mets Promote Two Executives To Assistant General Manager Positions

By Anthony Franco | July 12, 2021 at 10:33pm CDT

The Mets have promoted Ian Levin and Bryn Alderson to assistant general manager, reports Andy Martino of SNY. Both executives have been with New York for extended periods of time. Levin has been in the organization since 2005, while Alderson joined the Mets in 2011.

Levin had been the Mets’ senior director of baseball operations. Martino notes that he’s taken roles in the analytics and player development departments over the course of his tenure. Alderson, meanwhile, has worked on the scouting side of the organization. He has been the team’s director of professional scouting over the past two seasons.

The Mets’ front office has undergone quite a few changes since last winter’s sale of the franchise. Former general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and a significant portion of his staff left the organization immediately after new owner Steve Cohen took over. Previous GM Sandy Alderson (Bryn Alderson’s father) was brought back as team president.

Jared Porter was hired as general manager but fired shortly after when his past sexual harassment of a reporter came to light. Zack Scott has been functioning as acting general manager since that time. Martino writes that Scott has “earned many fans inside the organization” for his work over the past six months and could eventually earn a permanent promotion, but he continues to hold the position in an interim capacity for now.

        If one were to hire the best person for the job, that isn’t nepotism (even if the hiree is a friend or family member). If you are going to give preference to someone who you are friends with/related to then that is nepotism and I’d say it is always a bad thing

      Before I do anything I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.

      I don’t know why they keep the Dad. Is it because he was a Marine that he stays? Look at his track record. He hired Mickey Calloway and Jared Porter. He obviously didn’t do much checking into the background of either one. I think it’s a joke that he stays.

      The secret promotion to the role of Assistant TO the General Manager happened years ago. Sandy then held the position of GM and Assistant GM – he needed someone he could trust – until his prior tenure with the Mets ended.

    Mets adding asst.GM positions while the Rockies lose two of them. Different deadline strategies for sure.

      The promotions are basically fake titles to prevent other teams to poach them. Teams can poach under contract employees when they promote them but for a lateral move they have to get permission by the other team. Thus they make up now positions to prevent guys from getting poached.

        Poach is a funny word. My two favorite synonyms for poach are pilfer and plunder.

    Why would Bryan ever ever ever want to be an AGM in his dads company. If you fail you’re an idiot and if you succeed you didn’t earn it. My boy, if you’re reading this, you just moved into the exec suite, you should try to move laterally to a different team and work your way up now, you’ll thank me.
