Phillies take game 1 of the World Series, Ronny Mauricio's game is postponed in the DR, Mike Puma talks about Mets and Brandon Nimmo and the Mets are confident that they will retain Edwin Diaz.

Mike Puma NY Post Sports Plus (Subscription required) It’s not just how good Brandon Nimmo is. It’s how hard it would be for the Mets to replace him. "Other than Nimmo’s obvious strengths on the field – he gets on base and gives the Mets an ideal leadoff hitter and center fielder – there are his character traits. Nimmo’s “aw shucks” personality is infectious...Nimmo is such a commodity on this upcoming free-agent market that the Mets are right to worry he might escape."  Mike goes on to speculate about various replacements but does not mention Syracuse Met Jake Mangum who missed time last year with an injury but slashed  .333/.365/.471  last year for Syracuse, is a switch hitter and plays great CF defense.

  • 5 Questions the Mets must answer this season. Anthony DiComo asks 1. How are the Mets going to fill out their rotation (with or without Jacob deGrom)?  2. What about the bullpen (with or without Edwin Díaz)? 3. What’s the plan for center field?  4. How much money will Steve Cohen spend? 5. Can the Mets do enough to compete with the Braves?

2010

The Mets officially introduced 62 year-old Harvard Law School graduate Sandy Alderson as the team's new general manager at a Citi Field news conference. The former president and GM of the A's and chief executive officer of the Padres is being allowed to leave his current administrative position with MLB to take on the challenging role of rebuilding the directionless organization, which includes the hiring of a new manager for the team.

Baseball Reference:

1969 - Tom Seaver, who won 25 games to help lead the Mets to one of the most unlikely World Championships in major league history, is voted the National League Cy Young Award winner. 

2018: The Mets hire prominent player agent Brodie Van Wagenen as their General Manager, replacing Sandy Alderson. Other GMs have worked briefly as agents in the past, but none so prominent as Van Wagenen, who heads his own firm, CAA Baseball, and has a number of his clients currently playing in the organization.
