Mets Still In Need Of Front Office Help
The New York Mets are still in search of a candidate to run their baseball operations. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, Josh Byrnes has emerged as a target for them after six years in the Dodgers organization.
Sources: One of the names that the Mets have discussed internally re: head of baseball operations is that of Josh Byrnes, a sr. VP for the Dodgers. Byrnes spoke to the Phillies last spring before withdrawing his name from consideration — and before PHI hired David Dombrowski.
Byrnes was one of the first hires after Andrew Friedman took as president of baseball operations with the Dodgers. The former Padres general manager served under Friedman as the senior vice president.
