US EditionNew York Mets hire Lew Sherr from the US Open tennis tournament as president of business operations
- The New York Mets have appointed Lew Sherr, who currently leads the U.S. Open tennis tournament, to take on a top executive role managing their business affairs beginning in July 2025.
- Since 2022, Sherr has led the U.S. Tennis Association as its chief executive and announced in late May 2025 that he will step down, staying on through the end of June.
- During Sherr's 15 years with the USTA, including his CEO period, the organization experienced growth in tennis participation and unveiled an $800 million Arthur Ashe Stadium update.
- Sherr said, "We've taken some big swings, and thankfully, they're paying off," while expressing it is "bittersweet" to leave after contributing beyond commercial aspects and sport growth.
- The Mets' hiring of Sherr follows the recent departure of Scott Havens as president of business operations and coincides with Steve Cohen lobbying for gaming-related land reclassification near Citi Field.
