The former managing director of New York Mets, Billy Eppler, joined the Brewers Milwaukee as a special advisor for scouting and baseball operations, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke under the cover of anonymity because the Brewers had not announced the rental. SNY first reported that EPLLOW came to Milwaukee.
EPPLER was suspended last year after a major baseball league survey that he had ordered the MET staff to make injuries to create open alignment places, but this punishment expired after the World Series 2024.
He had resigned from his post as director general of the Mets in October 2023 in the middle of this investigation, three days after the owner Steve Cohen hired David Stearns as president of the baseball operations. Stearns held the president of the title of baseball operations with the Brewers before resigning at the end of the 2022 season.
EPLER joined the dishes in November 2021 after having worked as director general of the Los Angeles Angels from 2015 to 20. The dishes went 101-61 and obtained a place in the NL qualifying series in 2022, but fell to 75-87 the following year despite a salary of $ 355 million at the start of this season.
EPLER also worked in scouting and development of players with Colorado rockies and as director of professional scouting of New York Yankees and Deputy Managing Director.
He is now joining a Brewers organization which has a third consecutive Central NL title. Matt Arnold, selected as an executive of the MLB year last season, is the president of the Brewers of baseball operations since October 2022 after having been previously as a right man of Stearns.
