NEW YORK -- The New York Mets introduced new general manager Billy Eppler and made their intentions for the offseason clear.
They're hoping to spend money on free agents, and a lot of it.
Mets owner Steve Cohen made the team's desire to build a postseason contender clear on Monday, as the team introduced its third general manager since the start of the 2021 calendar year after the team fired Jared Porter for sending explicit text messages to a reporter and fired interim general manager Zack Scott after a DWI arrest. With the team's lack of farm system depth, Cohen said the team will need to spend money or make trades.
