Overview
- On Saturday Steve Cohen told SNY he will "try to add certain voices" to the Mets’ front office to support president of baseball operations David Stearns and said Stearns backs the idea.
- Cohen made clear any addition "doesn't have to be a GM" and could take other forms, with the goal of bringing more experience in talent evaluation and different points of view to current processes.
- The club will conduct a search for a full-time manager to replace interim Andy Green, with Cohen saying the manager’s primary job is to improve clubhouse culture and unify the players.
- Cohen framed the moves as a response to a disappointing 2026 season that followed high-cost roster changes, including letting Pete Alonso leave, and to the vocal fan reaction when Alonso returned and hit his 300th homer.
- Cohen said formal decisions and announcements are expected in the coming weeks, a change that could shift how the Mets build rosters and evaluate talent heading into 2027.
