NEW YORK — A major change is coming to the Mets’ organization soon.
On Thursday, the Mets announced that team president Sandy Alderson will step down from his role once the team identifies a successor. No timetable was given for that. Alderson won’t be totally disappearing though, as he’ll transition into a new role as special advisor to owners Steve and Alex Cohen and the club’s senior leadership team.
“For me personally and for the organization, it’s the right time for this transition,” Alderson, 74, said in a statement released by the team just an hour before their Thursday night game against the Pirates.
