Mets Rumors: Sandy Alderson to Be Hired as Team President by Steve Cohen

Sandy Alderson will reportedly be hired as the New York Mets' team president provided Steve Cohen is formally approved as the team's new owner.

According to MLB Network's Jon Heyman, Alderson will head both the baseball and business operations in his new role.

Alderson previously served as the Mets' general manager from 2010-18. He took a leave of absence and didn't return due to a reoccurrence of cancer but was hired by the Oakland Athletics as an adviser in 2019.

Alderson announced in January 2019 that he was cancer-free.
