New York Mets President Sandy Alderson had a busy week.
At 4:30 p.m. last Tuesday, Alderson waiting his turn to speak before an audience of both City of Syracuse and Onondaga County officials, was participating in dedication ceremonies of $25 million renovations of NBT Bank Stadium.
This in all likelihood wasn t his first or will this be Alderson s last appearance requiring he be handed gold-looking scissors, and to be among a group to cut a ribbon, and symbolically open a facility.
Reviewing his notes and adding to his soon to be delivered remarks, following Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh, Alderson had much to think about. He was the Mets general manager from 2010 to 2018, rejoining the organization when Steve Cohen purchased the club from the Wilpon family this past November.

The bases being used for Triple-A games this season are 18 inches square instead of the standard 15, and they sure looked big to Yankees first baseman Luke Voit.
