Billy Eppler, former Mets general manager, under investigation by MLB, according to AP source
NEW YORK — After Billy Eppler resigned as New York Mets general manager on Thursday, a person familiar with the situation said he is under investigation by Major League Baseball.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.
The person did not disclose the nature of the probe, but the New York Post was first to report that Eppler is being investigated by MLB for improper use of the injured list.
Eppler's surprising resignation came three days after the Mets hired David Stearns as president of baseball operations. Eppler spent the last two seasons running baseball operations for the Mets.
