Today, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Mets have hired Banner to be their new farm director, as Brodie Van Wagenen continues to shape his front office. Banner is the second Sox executive the Mets have brought into the fold this winter, following his mentor Allard Baird, who the Mets recently hired to be VP of player development and scouting.
