Key Points:
- The New York Mets are close to hiring Derek Falvey, former president of baseball operations for the Minnesota Twins, for a significant front office role, according to reports from The Athletic.
- Falvey previously worked alongside Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns in Cleveland and is expected to have a collaborative role in team decisions.
- Falvey left the Twins in January due to differences with executive chair Tom Pohlad, following a period of organizational turmoil and leadership changes in Minnesota.
- During Falvey's tenure, the Twins made the playoffs four times, including a 101-win season in 2019, but never advanced beyond the ALDS.
