Sources: Mets to hire D-backs exec Porter as GM

MLB

Arizona Diamondbacks assistant general manager Jared Porter is working on a deal to be the new GM of the New York Mets, sources told ESPN on Saturday, confirming multiple reports.

A longtime executive in Boston, Chicago and Arizona, Porter is immensely respected around baseball and has been seen as a future GM for years.

Porter was a jack of all trades in Arizona, but his heart is in scouting. He should be an excellent complement to team president Sandy Alderson and have the right kind of temperament to thrive in New York under new owner Steve Cohen.
