FLUSHING, N.Y., December 20, 2017 — The New York Mets today announced that General Manager Sandy Alderson has signed a contract extension. Terms were not disclosed.

Alderson joined the Mets on October 29, 2010 as the 12th GM in franchise history. He led the club to back-to-back trips to the postseason (2015–2016) for the second time in team history, including a trip to the 2015 World Series.

“I’m excited that Sandy will continue to lead the organization,” said Mets COO Jeff Wilpon.

Alderson was honored as the 2015 Baseball America Executive of the Year.

“I feel that we have some unfinished business,” said Alderson. “Spring Training is around the corner and our quest to return to the postseason will continue.”
