After the Jared Porter and Zack Scott fiascos (one incurred in sexual harassment and the other was arrested on DUI charges), the New York Mets went outside the organization to hire a new general manager. They found one in Billy Eppler.
The Mets like to have an assistant general manager: last year, Scott occupied the position until he had to take GM duties after what happened to Porter. For the 2022 season, though, the team is promoting from within as opposed to what happened with Eppler.
This week, Jon Heyman reported the Mets have promoted Ben Zauzmer to assistant general manager.
