OOOOOOH FUN.
Of course when I say things like this I get killed on twitter all winter, but now that it’s in a newspaper (which is a collection of yesterday’s tweets, printed on parchment, and delivered by horse and buggy or something) everyone will make this the new Narrative (hash tag #thenarrative)
Anyway, I am glad that the newspaper has escaped the Cohen Mafia and joined the land of us Smart Free Thinkers! Let’s see what the New York Post has to say!
But this administration promised it would assemble a state-of-the-art baseball braintrust. That didn’t happen. Whether it was Cohen’s sharp-elbowed reputation from the business world, or concerns about just how involved Sandy Alderson would be as team president, or something else, the Mets most desired candidates to be president of baseball operations proved unattainable.
They pivoted to just a general manager, picked Jared Porter, and that lasted a month before they fired him after revelations he harassed a female reporter in a previous job. Porter had to go. But with him went wide connections to teams and agents and a greater sense of how a modern front office operates. Agents have commented how it at times feels like a time warp that they are negotiating with Alderson and John Ricco again as if 2014 booked a return visit. This clearly was not the plan in October.

Before you know it, someone at the Post will throw the phrase “Black Edge” into Google.
