Former Mets GM Billy Eppler Placed on MLB's Ineligible List for Violation of IL Rules

Former New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler will not be permitted to work for an MLB organization for the entirety of the 2024 season.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that Eppler has been placed on the league's ineligible list and will remain there through the end of the 2024 World Series.

The reason given for Eppler's ineligibility is that he played a role in the violation of injured list rules in 2022 and 2023.

Eppler, who resigned from his role as Mets GM in October, is not currently employed by an MLB team.
