New York Mets' Sandy Alderson says New York City a deterrent in team's GM search
"I think it's mostly about New York, and not about, you know, Steve or the organization or what have you. It's a big stage and some people would just prefer to be elsewhere."
...
Largely, though, he thinks New York itself is keeping people away.
Not the rats, though, right Sandy? NYC is rat Mecca!
"There are a lot of factors that come into play, but I would say it's, you know, it's not unforgiving, but it's a demanding place," he said.
...
"If you're looking to be comfortable, this is probably not the place..."
Yeah, comfort's overrated.
Alderson said he was a little surprised by how many candidates had turned them down.
