Mets hire Jared Porter as General Manager

I swear to you I first thought they hired Bo Porter, as whenever I read just the name "Porter" I think of Bo.

I'm just glad it's not Theo Epstein.

Could lead to that, Theo is his mentor

Theo will slide in as Porter's boss a year from now. Just like in Texas that Chris Young was hired to be the GM but still be under the President of Baseball Ops. This baffles me. I don't care which title a team chooses to name the guy who is in charge of constructing the roster but if you have both then the GM is not really the guy in charge, just an assistant to the president.

The Mutts just couldn't have a GM hold a post more than one month …

Jared Porter can definitely hold his post, if you don't believe him he'll send you a picture as proof.
