It seems if you were a team legitimately holding people back from promotions, it would be difficult to bring in talent.

Stearns was blocked last year as well. The belief is the Brewers are going to give him a huge extension and might even hold a 2023 option on him as well. There is no "promotion" Stearns could have had with the Mets. This was a linear move.
Sandy and his son to land a top name... if that results in... Josh Byrnes or... Brandon Gomes... not exactly a HR for Cohen.
"Two Dodgers executives are on the Mets’ radar, senior VP Josh Byrnes and assistant GM Brandon Gomes. Byrnes’ level of interest in the job is not yet clear, but if the Mets asked for permission to speak with him, they will almost certainly receive it, sources say."
Mets are 48 games under 500 during Sandy’s nine years as a GM or President .
His player acquisitions have been about average his GM and managerial hiring I’ve been terrible
Porter a sexual pervert
Zach Scott a drunk
Mickey Callaway sexual pervert completely in over his head
Terry Collins was actually his best hire. What does that say?
Cohen obviously needs Sandy’s guidance since he doesn’t know anything about the business of baseball but I’m not exactly hopeful that this hire will be a good one given Sandy’s woeful track record
allowed Stearns to interview, unless it was a Godfather offer (which it very well could have been but who knows), he sounded like he was staying in Milwaukee.
did anyone see SNY advocating for trading Alvarez for this guy?
With the rejection to even speak to him this idea (pushed by multiple media members is in fact dead). Allow them to speak would proceed talking about compensation. By saying they can't speak, it means that idea is dead and buried.
assume they will ask for permission to speak to Byrnes for POBO. Gomes would likely be a guy they would ask to speak to as a potential GM, really hope that wouldn't meaning Sandy remaining in charge. They should make the call on Thad Levine, though he's resisted both the Mets/Phillies recently.
over the weekend that said Depo wouldn't leave the Browns for a MLB return and it was about the Mets.
I didn't read past the headline, but I wonder how/why he would want to stay with the Browns and to be honest it doesn't seem like he's been massively successful there.
He seemed like a guy I could have pictured as a future POBO.

He didn't really give much of an answer other than he wasn't interested but he recently signed a 5 year contract to remain with the Browns.
are just names but if this ends up being the hire after he was fired by Miami, then both the Mets and Phillies passed on him... not a great look for Cohen/Sandy, sorry.

Best fit i believe is Josh Byrnes. Most likely is Mike Hill. There’s reason for belief that all other execs could get blocked by their teams. Hill is the only one not working for a team rn.

I went back and read the piece. Sherman spoke to him and he said he wasn't interested in leaving the Browns. There wasn't else to it, or even a direct quote (I'm not doubting Sherman spoke to him) just nothing to expand on.

It's pretty simple I think...
He was a college football player and he likes that sport better... haha
I thin Cleveland might be "home" for him too, since he started his baseball career with the Indians.
didn't realize Anthopoulos spent 2 years with the Dodgers FO prior to being hired by the Braves. That means Friedman left the Rays (which we know to be a pretty amazing franchise), "created" the Dodgers model, then Anthopoulos (who is on record acknowledging this) took his "education" in that system and implemented much of it in Atlanta. This is the opposite of the Belichick tree. Chaim Bloom also obviously from there as well. Teams were smart to target Neander when they did.
- As I noted above, I really think they should make a call on Thad Levine. Yes, he turned them down in 2018, and turned down the Phillies last year but they can offer him the POBO role, something he can't have with the Twins with Falvey there.
The idea that Sandy is some massive respected baseball mind that people fall over themselves in desire to work with...is total nonsense.
They admire him as a man and person but I don't see the evidence that there's interest in being around Sandy the baseball mind.
I can't blame people for being worried about this job. You come to the job and immediately have Sandy and his son breathing over your shoulder.
There is now a suggestion from some that they only bring in a GM. Not really ideal when Sandy's son was just promoted to assistant GM and Sandy is still there. Hard to believe anybody who either isn't desperate to be GM or simply the paycheck is going to want to have to deal with such a setup.
Sandy president
GM+ Levin/Sandy's son as his assistants (both just promoted in July)
maybe MIL is playing this up to get the Mets to give up some young talent, but I'm not sure I'd do that. Find a GM, ride it out for another year, and see if Stearns or someone else shakes loose.

Expectation is the Brewers and Stearns have already discussed an extension and Martino reported he has a 2023 option. He’s out. Heyman also now confirming the Mets are “pessimistic” they get to speak to Beane and will have to expand their list.

Thanks. It does look like the best plan may be to hire a GM and punt the POBO question to next year. Or maybe think outside the box and hire someone from outside MLB? Kind of like the Browns did with De Podesto.

Will Carroll said he heard they discussed a name that “blew his mind”. He refused to divulge it but said it was somebody who didn’t have experience in such a role. As I noted above, one issue with hiring “only” a GM is the Mets just named Sandy’s son assistant GM. Not really ideal to have this new person having one Alderson above him and one as assistant GM (in addition to his other assistant GM (Ian Levin, also just promoted) picked for him. Sure, they could potentially fire one of them but they aren’t firing Sandy’s son..

that we have a realistic chance of landing since it looks like the big 3 are out of the picture?
Byrnes is being touted as the top name. Retread Michel Hill, I’d call about Thad Levine personally. I guess they can see if Chernoff had a change of heart.

Sandy’s son was already here. He was promoted in July which yeah, suggests he’s not going anywhere in November.
I wouldn't be against @mets keeping on Scott as part of the FO but there is no way he can be rewarded with being named the full-time GM (the caveat, I guess being that this was all a misunderstanding, he's completely innocent etc but even then... were you that impressed with the Mets moves that he deserves a promotion? As part of the FO, he'd likely be an asset.
it or not, Cohen/Sandy completely struck out for 2 off-seasons on their "top" targets. They may well end up with somebody very good or even great but that's just the facts. Sandy being some sort of enticement to top names has not been the case.

Cohen wanted to hire La Russa/Arn Tellem to run the Dodgers when he thought he was going to be the high bidder for him, so it's unclear exactly what his baseball acumen is. Not suggesting, I know what kind of job they would do but that would have been a weird way to go.
For whatever the reason it didn't happen last off-season when it was heavily rumored but I keep coming back to Bobby Heckas a guy @mets need to heavily, heavily consider hiring. I think he'd be a fantastic hire. Here is he is talking to Keith Law- Link - ( New Window )

The Mets have been calling around, basically putting together a longer list past their "top 3" and seeing who's available/interested. I've heard several names, can confirm Doug Melvin (finalist last time), Bobby Heck (TB), and Dorian Boyland on the list.
is 69 years old and hasn't had an official title since 2015. That would be... something. This isn't hiring some all-timer like La Russa or Dusty... yikes.
looks like an absurd candidate. I've been searching for 5 minutes to find something that would support his candidacy and he's a 67 year old former big leaguer who made a lot of money selling cars and is charitable...

So does this Beane came very close to jumping to the Mets...Always assume the opposite with Nightengale reports.
Joking aside, Cohen missing out on his top targets ( and seeming not even getting close) is really disappointing. Is it him that is turning people off? Curious to hear why this job isn't more attractive.
with these three candidates. Two were/are basically in lateral roles. Beane is already a minority owner in OAK.
Theo was a pipe dream and had specific requirements Cohen knew about and wasn't likely to offer Theo.
Naming those three guys would be like if the Giants fired Gettleman and said our three candidates are Eric Da Costa, Steve Keim, and Brandon Beane (all three of whom are in similar roles with contenders). or even Belichick.
It just makes the Mets look dysfunctional/bad but reality is none were a good match and for none would it even be a promotion (Theo was POBO with the Cubs).
like Will Carroll but this is ridiculous (to me) when I questioned Boyland
