Alderson Unsure Of Mets' Budget For 2013

Aug 15, 2012 4:18 PM EST

The Mets cut their payroll by $50 million from 2011 to 2012.

As the offseason approaches, general manager Sandy Alderson isn't sure how much money he'll be able to spend to prepare for next season.

"I haven't had any conversations with ownership about it," Alderson said. "I'm still focused on 2012, as is the rest of the front office. Over the next several weeks, that focus will shift, but it really hasn't yet."

The Mets opened this season with a payroll of around $93 million.
