The Mets left acting general manager Zack Scott on administrative leave “until further notice,” the team announced Thursday, hours after Scott pleaded not guilty to driving while intoxicated.
Team president Sandy Alderson will take over from Scott, the Mets said in a statement.
Police found Scott sleeping in his car around 4 a.m. Tuesday in White Plains. He refused to donate blood or undergo a breathalyzer before suspending a sobriety test in the field.
The Mets had already said Scott would not be traveling on the team’s next road trip, as they learned more and determined the next steps.
