Sandy Alderson Denies Role in Billy Eppler's Suspension Over Phantom Injured List

The former Mets president clarifies his stance on the anonymous tip that led to Eppler's one-year MLB suspension.

Alderson admits he was not a fan of Eppler but insists he did not report him to MLB.
Eppler was suspended for fabricating injuries to manipulate roster spots during his tenure as Mets GM.
Alderson claims he was unaware of some details in the anonymous letter sent to MLB.
He acknowledges using a similar tactic once in the 1980s but regrets it and never repeated it.
Alderson rejoined the Mets as president in 2020 and hired Eppler in 2021.
