I think they're going to fire Alderson

Centerfield Jun 26 2018 07:48 AM

The local papers have been letting him have it recently, including the Daily News. Which I think may be a sign that the Mets are preparing to make him the fall guy. Pretty self-serving and convenient. For the most part, the beat writers gave him a pass all winter. Now that those crap moves have blown up, they're throwing the blame on him. Would have been nice to call him out during the winter when there was time to do something about it. Anyway, I have mixed feelings about this if it happens. I think Sandy has done a terrible job, but I have no confidence that they can find anyone better. Plus, the Wilpons are going to Wilpon, so it's not like much is going to change. Still, if the ceiling on this organization is to someday put together a team built to win 85 games and contend for the Wild Card, I guess it's possible we can find someone who's better at doing this than Sandy.

Ceetar Jun 26 2018 07:56 AM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

I've waffled on Alderson over the years. He's made some good moves and bad. Some good moves that went bad too. I have no idea what his fascination is with Jay Bruce who he presumably has been constantly trying to trade at various points since he's been here and it seems like he's the only one that wants him. I don't think this is Mets prompted though. This is media driven to cast blame further up. Your moves didn't work this time so it's your fault. The Wilpons, as they often do, will cave to what the media tells them is pubic pressure, and move on. Hopefully anyway. It seems like they have two moves, either fire the guy and move on, or micromanage him/put on restraints and screw things up. i.e. I believe a trusted GM could tell the Wilpons they have to get Machado, whereas a one at the end of his rope cannot unless they themselves think it's the move. I kinda hope they don't though. I think I like Callaway and I worry a new GM does a whole new shakeup. I believe this team can win next year, but I worry a new organization might take a conservative "Let's assess what we have" type year. Of course, they might need a shakeup, organizationally, in terms of player development/coaches in the whole system. On the other hand, they might not, and might end up losing good people to organizational churn.

Reports are surfacing that Sandy is taking an immediate leave of absence to address health issues.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2018 02:44 PM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

NYP: Sandy Alderson is taking a leave of absence from the Mets to battle a recurrence of cancer. Alderson was originally diagnosed with cancer in 2015. He said it had returned in April or May this year. “Since that time I’ve been undergoing treatment,” the Mets general manager said at a news conference Tuesday. “I expect to have surgery later in the summer. My prognosis is actually good.” Without Alderson, the Mets’ baseball operations will be led by John Ricco, Omar Minaya and J.P. Ricciardi. Alderson may not return to the role, regardless of how his treatment goes. "If I were to look at it on the merits, I’m not sure coming back is warranted", Alderson said. “I feel personally responsible for the results that we’ve had, ... At the same time, I have confidence in our manager, our staff, our players that this will change.” Mets co-owner Jeff Wilpon would not say whether Alderson would return as GM, only indicating he was worried about Alderson’s health and not his future with the team. https://nypost.com/2018/06/26/sandy-ald ... ecurrence/

Best of luck to Sandy. I don't like the three-headed monster approach. I hope they will name a single, interim General Manager.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 26 2018 02:57 PM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

My guess is that Ricco will be the decision maker.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 26 2018 03:10 PM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

Joel Sherman tweeting to the effect of the 3-headed monster, being the most Wilponian solution. I myself was surprised Sandy returned given the health troubles and his age but you'd figure an orderly transition would have been in the offing but not with the Mets. From the remarks accompanying the Minaya hiring last winter there's obviously some unease with that arrangement from the Ricco/Riccardi end of it. A freaking mess for sure.

I think Alderson handled himself amazingly in the press conference. It's not easy to look your own mortality in the face, let alone having to do it in the public eye. The guy is a Marine, through and through. Now, as for as the future of the organization. . . The front office just became the Roman Senate, and that's not a good thing at all. Ricco, Ricciardi, and Minaya might all be nice guys and competent baseball men, but now they are all in the position where they are going to try and one-up and outmaneuver the other two in order to gain favor with Caesar. That is just the way this sort of thing goes when an organization (of any type) is set up this way. Remember when Charles Wang tried the front office with four guys having equal voices or the Jets for all those years under Hess when there was no clear-cut GM? Furthermore, when Caesar is a incompetent spoiled impetuous man-child, that makes it all the worse. Alderson was supposed to be the guy coming in from the outside at the behest if the Commissioner who had the gravitas to put baby in a corner and he could not do it. How can we expect anyone else to do it from among these three or even from the outside of the organization? I am 47 years old and have spent my entire life looking for the silver linings, the best case scenarios, and the implausible pathways towards ultimate success with regard to this baseball team. There is no fixing this.

Ashie62 Jun 26 2018 05:00 PM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

Best of luck to Sandy I was surprised he came back the first time I believe he asked for a "cold hard look" at the team as it stands.

We were waiting for, some wanting, him to leave. Nobody wanted it to be this way. I can say from recent experience that facing your mortality is tough. And he's younger than I am. I wish you well, Sandy. Later

Jeff Wilpon has every opportunity to say “When Sandy recovers, we fully expect him to resume his position as the General Manager of the Mets. He is our guy and has our full support.” Instead, he stood by and deflected as Sandy fell on his own sword. Sandy Alderson was fired today. Make no mistake of that. Sandy did a terrible job but is a good man. It’s terrible that his cancer has recurred. It’s an absolute fucking travesty that his dickless employer is using this illness to skirt taking responsibility.

You don't think they talked about this before hand? Doing that almost mandates that they go forward with this three-headed monster rather than actively look for a replacement/future. They'll miss a guiding hand at the trade deadline, but otherwise this is a particularly slow time and a great time to hire someone. (It's pretty obvious they were waiting for the draft to end) And come on, the Mets love to give their old execs cushy jobs. If Alderson wants to come back in some capacity, the Wilpons will make that happen. That's the sorta meddling we complain about right? Anyway, Good luck Sandy.

MFS62 Jun 27 2018 08:22 AM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

While he's gone, I'm not forgetting that JP Ricciardi WAS a major league GM (Blue Jays). Keep Minaya where he excels - player scouting and development, and let Riccio handle the contract and administrative stuff, with JP in charge. That's how I would organize the management team. Later

The Daily News confirming basically what we knew yesterday, which is that Sandy has been fired. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseb ... story.html The more I think about it, the more I feel this is complete horseshit. Either Sandy was fired for cause or he wasn't. If he was fired, then leave the illness out of it, and own up to the fact that you fired your GM. If Sandy was not fired for cause, then come out in full support of him, and say it's his job and we fully expect him to resume. Say the failures of this team are on all of us, owners included, and that Sandy has not been terminated in any way, shape or form. Trotting him out there to fall on his sword, while sitting there using cue cards to try to look compassionate is absolutely positively the Wilpon way.

Centerfield wrote: The Daily News confirming basically what we knew yesterday, which is that Sandy has been fired. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseb ... story.html. Bringing the subject away from cancer -- because, well, cancer -- and onto baseball, the author talked about needing to trade our big pitchers to replenish our badly depleted farm system, while mentioning two guys who had an OPS in excess of 1.000 at Binghamton (not a hitters' paradise). I'll take that kind of depletion in the farm system, thank you very much. And anybody who wants to fit DeGrom in pinstripes can (insert crude response of your choice here). That being said, some creativity is absolutely in order. Cespedes could help an American League team who needs a DH a lot. Nobody will pay $58M over two seasons for him, but I bet we could get out from under most of it. Give Nimmo and Conforto the corners, and bring in a real centerfielder (because, DEFENSE). The catch -- AJ Pollack would be a phenomenal fit for this team, outside of his tendency to get hurt. Trade Bruce for a similar contract. One such similar contract (outside of the signing bonuses which would presumably remain the responsibility of the signing teams) is Mark Melancon. Even with Hunter Strickland's embarrassing injury, the Giants have a loaded pen. They do not have a left fielder. (And won't have a right fielder going into the offseason.) Teams are adjusting to all-or-nothing swingers by pitching them to keep the ball in the park and shifting, shifting, shifting. Stay away from those hitters.

Nymr83 Jun 27 2018 10:21 AM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

Bruce for Melancon is intriguing, because it seems like a fair exchange of duplicative and somewhat overpaid but still useful assets and not a "WFAN caller trade". remind me of Vaughn for Appier

Edgy MD Jun 27 2018 10:23 AM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

I think we can be (though we shouldn't be) very binary about farm systems, and overweigh rankings which, as researched as they are, arbitrarily ignore or marginalize several meaningful factors. That said, I not only have philosophical problems with how players are deployed in the bigs, but also with how players are developed. The notion that a player can't be asked to bunt because he was never asked in the minors is weepingly insufficient. The idea that you shouldn't press Rosario too hard about his strike zone judgment because you "don't want to take away his aggressiveness" is a floating taco turd of a cliche in the unflushed toilet of the organizational cocktail party. I still believe the talent is there. Oh, and can we please move on from the Mike Barwis era?

Ashie62 Jun 27 2018 11:04 AM Re: I think they're going to fire Alderson

Any trade that would bring back something of value would require the Wilpons eating salary. That's not happening, so there won't be value coming back, if they can be moved at all.

So, naturally, both of these are exactly what the Wilpons have in mind.

That's absurd. The whole purpose of making trades towards the deadline would be to fill holes in the roster going forward -- and which potential GM is going to take that kind of job? ... Plenty of them! Plus, in my mind anyway, I think one of the Wilpons' biggest weakness is them sticking to their comfort zone of known quantities rather than take a chance on the unfamiliar, and yet you want them to not even consider anyone but the currently entrenched threesome.
