Mike Chernoff is a very capable baseball executive, with incredible knowledge about the sport and valuable experience making important decisions of a team. He’s done it for years with the small-market Cleveland Indians, building contending squads, and the New York Mets were very interested in bringing him to Queens to do the same thing. However, he decided to stay in Ohio.
If you are wondering why Chernoff chose to stay with the Indians instead of pursuing a job with the New York Mets, Cleveland.com’s Paul Hoynes, who has covered the tribe for years, offered his perspective.
