Mets Rumors: NY Requests to Interview Raquel Ferreira, Daniel Adler for GM Job

New York Mets president Sandy Alderson has requested to interview Boston Red Sox executive vice president and assistant general manager Raquel Ferreira for the club's vacant GM job, per SNY's Andy Martino.

The Mets have also requested to interview Minnesota Twins assistant GM Daniel Adler and Los Angeles Dodgers assistant GM Jeff Kingston.

Kingston will remain with the Dodgers, Martino reported.

Ferreira first began working with the Red Sox in 1999, per a 2019 piece published by The Undefeated. She went from holding a role as an administrative assistant to becoming an executive.

In 2015, Ferreira became the third female vice president of baseball operations in MLB history. She was promoted to her current role in 2019. 

Miami Marlins general manager Kim Ng became the first female GM in MLB history in 2020. Ferreira would become the second if hired by the Mets.

Adler, meanwhile, has been in the Twins organization since 2017. He was the director of baseball operations for two years before being promoted to assistant GM in 2019.

The 34-year-old has an MBA from Harvard and worked for MLB's labor relations department. He has also worked for the Jacksonville Jaguars as director of football research.

David Stearns, Matt Arnold, Michael Girsch, Billy Beane, Mark Shapiro, Brian Sabean, Scott Harris and Brandon Gomes are among the many executives linked to the Mets general manager position who won't join the club ahead of the 2022 season. 

Mets owner Steve Cohen could also make an internal hire, Martino wrote. Assistant general manager Ian Levin and vice president of amateur/international scouting Tommy Tanous have been considered for the vacant position, per Mike Puma of the New York Post. 

The Mets have been in limbo at GM since Jared Porter was fired in January after it was revealed he engaged in inappropriate conduct in 2016, which included sending "explicit, unsolicited texts and images" to a female reporter, according to ESPN's Mina Kimes and Jeff Passan.

Assistant general manager Zack Scott was elevated to acting GM and was viewed as a replacement for Porter before an August DWI charge put his status with the club in question. Scott remains on administrative leave, and his position won't be sorted out until his legal situation is resolved.
