Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the New York Mets are moving toward hiring Derek Falvey for a significant but unspecified front‑office role that sources say will not be general manager.
- Falvey previously worked with Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns in Cleveland and is expected to report to Stearns while advising on major baseball decisions.
- Owner Steve Cohen has said he wants to add “certain voices” to the front office after a costly offseason produced several high‑profile signings and trades that underperformed during back‑to‑back losing seasons.
- Falvey’s record includes turning around the Twins franchise with four postseason appearances but also uneven playoff results and mixed outcomes on trades and free‑agent moves, and he left Minnesota after reported differences with ownership in January.
- The Mets have not officially confirmed the reports and further front‑office announcements are expected as the team outlines how new senior advisors or vice‑presidents will shape roster and scouting decisions.
