New York Mets owner Steve Cohen announced plans to expand the team front office following two consecutive seasons without a postseason appearance. These personnel changes are intended to improve overall team performance under the current leadership of David Stearns.
Why it matters
The organization is searching for ways to improve on-field results after missing the playoffs for two years in a row. Cohen stated that the planned additions are aimed at providing new support and perspectives to the existing baseball operations structure.
The franchise has missed the postseason for two consecutive seasons. The team roster previously featured Pete Alonso, who reached the 300th career home run milestone.
