One thing I love about this blog is how we come here to laugh about things that aren’t really that important, but are still fun to talk and joke about.
Unfortunately, this post isn’t one of them. Long-time GM Sandy Alderson, in the middle of his eighth season with the Mets, will step down from his position as he works to recover from a relapse in his cancer, which will require a surgery.
Sandy Alderson will undergo surgery later this year. He says his prognosis to recover from a relapse of cancer is good.

Sandy Alderson and Jeff Wilpon held a press conference moments ago at Citi Field to discuss his health and the plan going forward, in which Sandy mentioned that he is unsure if he deserves to come back, given his health and the performance of the team this year. “If I were to look at it on the merits, I’m not sure coming back is warranted.” said Alderson.
Given this statement, the interim trio of of Ricciardo, Minaya and Ricco might not be temporary, but Sandy did not rule out coming back, either.

The good news is that Sandy’s immediate prognosis is positive, and he feels confident that he will recover in time. I send my thoughts and well wishes to Sandy’s family and friends, as well as the Mets family as a whole.
