back in the fall of 2020, billionaire owner Steve Cohen said he wanted his organization to model the Los Angeles Dodgers as the east coast version of the current NL pennant winners.
This past September, the Mets hired another former Dodgers employee in James Kang, who will serve as their new director of international scouting.Kang previously worked with the Padres, Red Sox, Dodgers and lastly Guardians where he was the Senior Player Acquisitions Scout.Kang is highly regarded around the game, spending 2024 as a senior player acquisitions scout with the Cleveland Guardians, a team that went all the way to the ALCS where they fell to the Yankees in five games.
"He’s a humble guy that can communicate with people across all different backgrounds and is a tireless worker. It’s not a mistake that he has been targeted by so many successful organizations over the past few years. I expect he is going to thrive in New York and help to continue to build upon what they are accomplishing right now. Huge addition for the Mets," Murphy added.
