What the Mets front office needs after hiring Derek Falvey
Key Points:
- Derek Falvey, former Twins president, has joined the Mets front office, bringing a fresh perspective.
- The Mets organization plans to introduce more new voices to diversify decision-making.
- Currently, the Mets rely heavily on analytics with many number crunchers but only about four MLB scouts.
- The team recently did not renew veteran scout Roy Smith's contract, reducing scouting experience.
- There is a need for more scouts and experienced personnel to balance analytics with practical insights, especially after decisions like not offering Pete Alonso a contract.
