Mets Move to Add Derek Falvey to Front Office

Overview

• Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the New York Mets are closing in on hiring Derek Falvey for a front-office position, though no formal announcement or exact title has been released.
• Reports say Falvey would likely join as a senior adviser, special assistant, or vice-presidential‑type executive and is expected to have significant input on team decisions.
• Falvey and Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns previously worked together in Cleveland as co-directors of baseball operations, which helps explain the fit between the two.
• Falvey led the Minnesota Twins’ baseball operations from 2016 through a January departure this year after reported differences with executive chair Tom Pohlad; his Twins record included four playoff trips and several non-playoff seasons.
• The hire would reflect Steve Cohen’s stated push to add new perspectives to the front office and could shift how the Mets make roster and spending choices, with possible effects on personnel strategy and internal power balance.
