“… We will have no further comment on the process until we are ready to announce our new general manager.” -Jeff Wilpon, earlier Tuesday
We didn’t even get to Wednesday without news leaking that Sandy Alderson was going to be hired as the new Mets GM. This leak, by the way, wasn’t a Jeff Wilpon announcement.
Alderson, with a few “elephants in the room” in the form of useless contracts and no money for new players, might not have as busy winter as we think. And frankly, my hopes were never high for that anyway, no matter if the new GM was Alderson, Jon Daniels, Josh Byrnes, or Jesus. So maybe Sandy’s main order of business over the next weeks and months should be to take control this well oiled machine and make sure that leaks the size of riptides, along with the constant miscommunications from player and manager, player and general manager, manager and general manager, owner’s son and pizza vendor, stop once and for all? Maybe?
If anyone can do that, it’s Sandy Alderson. We hope. Remember, 63 is the new 48.
