The New York Mets have been making many executive changes in their clubhouse since the beginning of this year. They just hired David Stearns in a very crucial role. And now, they have reportedly hired a media man as the president of their business operations.

Scott Havens, the newest member of the Mets clubhouse, was announced in his presidential post just now. Although he has no connections to the sports world, his role doesn’t demand as much experience in athletics as it does in handling their business dealings.

The newest member of the New York Mets

Havens has been working with media powerhouse Bloomberg since 2015 as the chief executive of operations. Delving into the sports scene seems like a welcome challenge for the business aficionado. His induction into the MLB was announced through a Twitter post made by Joel Sherman, a baseball columnist for the New York Post.

The New York Mets’ owner, Steve Cohen, was on the search for a new president for the team, according to Sherman. The previous stakeholder in that post, Sandy Alderson, recently stepped down from his seat to opt for an advisory role.

As the president of business operations, Havens is expected to deal with everyday affairs that go on throughout the organization, except for one division. The unit in question is the Department of Baseball Operations, which is led by David Stearns. Other than their presidential hires, what other changes has the team made to their office this year?

Other than Mendoza, the Mets also hired Kevin Mahala, a former Phillies member, as the hitting coordinator for their minor league. Before his Mets job, Mahala was working as an instructor for the Phillies minor league.
