Good morning afternoon evening, Athletics Nation!
Oakland A’s assistant general manager Billy Owens is firmly on the league’s radar for a future GM job, but it won’t be with the New York Mets in 2021. The Mets hired Jared Porter as their new GM on Saturday, signing him to a four-year contract.
Owens was in consideration for the Mets job, and was one of four candidates known to have interviewed. What’s more, New York’s new president is Sandy Alderson, a former A’s GM who has worked with Owens before, but in the end the Mets went in another direction.
