FILE - In this Oct. 16, 2015 file photo, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson answers questions for the media during a news conference in New York. Alderson has been given a contract extension, as long expected. Alderson succeeded Omar Minaya in October 2010, and his previous contract expired after the season. The length of his new deal was not specified. New York reached the World Series in 2015 and the NL wild-card game the following year before slumping to a 70-92 record in an injury-filled 2017 season.
