Dick Scott Steps Back from Mets Management | New York Mets News

Dick Scott, the beloved manager of the Triple-A Syracuse Mets, is taking a leave of absence after being diagnosed with kidney cancer — but the news is hopeful: he’s had surgery, feeling better, and aiming to return before the season ends. A 13-year veteran of the Mets organization and a key architect of future stars like Francisco Alvarez and Nolan McLean, Scott’s impact on player development earned him an award last year. Teammates and staff, including GM Jason Smorol, call him a “stalwart” and are rallying behind him. Before managing, Scott played 10 seasons, coached in the majors, and held front office roles — all before rejoining the Mets in 2021. Originally from Maine, he’s supported by his wife Kristin and family as he recovers. The Mets and fans are watching closely for his comeback.
