Ricciardi worked for the Red Sox for a day before Mets job 11.03.10 at 3:34 pm ET

Newly named Mets special assistant to general manager J.P. Ricciardi appeared on The Big Show on Wednesday. Ricciardi was asked about a tweet from Peter Gammons that indicated he worked a day in the Red Sox front office before the Mets made a job offer.

“I had the shortest tenure of any Red Sox employee ever, it was 24 hours,” said Ricciardi. “I had a standing offer from the Red Sox to go over there at any time and I had gone over there to help with a project that they were doing, which was at the end of last week. And the next day [Mets general manager] Sandy Alderson had called and asked permission to talk to me. Theo [Epstein] and the ownership group were absolutely outstanding, they allowed Sandy the opportunity to talk to me and it ended up working out really well for me.”

Ricciardi was then asked what would have happened had the Mets not come in with an offer.

“On November 1st I was going to work for them [The Red Sox],” said Ricciardi. “At that point it would have been official, but it never got to that point.”

    It’s just weird for the Mets to have competent GM’s at the helm after the clown factory they’ve had running the show so long.

    If you think Ricciardi is competent, then I’m sorry for you. Just look at the Halladay episodes.

    @John – You mean how he convinced Halladay to sign an extension for well below market value to stay in Toronto? Twice? Simply horrible.
