- Summary:
- This is a fictional case based on the acquisition and use of talent within Major League Baseball club the New York Mets using "sabermetrics." The case introduces students to three disparate approaches to acquiring and utilizing talent with the strategic aim to maximize the Mets' "championship window." The case primarily uses examples from the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the Tampa Bay Rays to compare successful and unsuccessful strategies. With the data and strategies presented, this case presents a scenario for Jalen Burkes, the fictitious assistant to the General Manager for the Mets during the Major League Baseball offseason. This case develops within the theoretical framework of workforce differentiation theory and is suitable for student learning about strategic decision making and human resource management. Specifically, students are challenged to consider whether to keep free agents on the roster based on how talent is acquired and used to put the Mets in the best possible position to compete for a championship in the next season.
