Looking for Mister Right

For the past three weeks the New York Mets having been looking for a new general manager to replace Omar Minaya. COO Jeff Wilpon and assistant GM John Ricco have met with a few quality candidates so far. Dodgers assistant GM Logan White, White Sox Gm Rick Hahn, Red Sox assistant to the general manager Allard Baird, and former Diamondbacks Gm Josh Byrnes. Earlier today they met with Blue Jays special assistant to the general manager Dana Brown.

The person who is getting the most buzz is Sandy Alderson, the former Oakland A's general manager. Alderson is well known amongst baseball aficionados for his with the A's during the 1980's. Recently he has been working with the commisioner's office to help clean up steroid use. Alderson is also fighting to end corruption in the Dominican Republic. He most likely will be asked back for the second round of interviews with owner Fred Wilpon and president Saul Katz.

The Mets hope to get permission to speak with Texas rangers GM, and Queens native, Jon Daniels once the postseason is finished. Chuck Greenberg, co-owner of the Rangers, has told reporters that Daniels "isn't going anywhere."
