The Mets are hiring two new people in their front office: Kris Gross and Andy Green. Gross will be the Mets’ vice president of scouting, per Chandler Rome of the Athletic, and Green will be working in a senior role in player development, per Joel Sherman.
The hires follow the Mets’ hiring of Carlos Mendoza as their new manager and the team’s decision to non-tender five players yesterday and trims its 40-man roster to just 27 players.
Gross spent a little more than a decade with the Astros, having been with the organization since 2012 and run the team’s draft operation since 2019.
