The New York Mets are reportedly making big changes to their front office amid their disappointing 2023 season, dismissing various longtime employees, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Pro scouting director Jeff Lebow, farm director Kevin Howard, performance director Jim Cavallini and baseball development director Bryan Hayes are all among the employees being dismissed, according to DiComo.

The Mets still want to hire a president of baseball operations this winter, according to DiComo, and the dismissals of Jeff Lebow, Kevin Howard, Jim Cavallini and Bryan Hayes clear the way for the new president to bring in some of his own staff.

The Mets have been linked to former Milwaukee Brewers president David Stearns to fill the same role, but ultimately have not hired him. Many Mets fans still expect David Stearns to eventually become the president with the Mets. He has connections with current general manager Billy Eppler.

Clearly, as the Mets finish up their disappointing season, they intend to make some significant changes to the organization this upcoming offseason. It will be interesting to monitor what happens with the president role, and if Stearns eventually does get hired as president of the team.

There has been some talk about the Mets rebuilding or re-tooling over the next year or so, but there was a recent report saying that the Mets want to keep Pete Alonso around for next season so they can field a competitive team.

It would be reasonable to assume that New York's vision could change based on who they hire as president of the team.
