New York Mets interim manager Andy Green says the club is fully compliant with Major League Baseball after a report raised questions about New York’s use of artificial intelligence for in-game strategy decisions. Green, speaking before Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, said that “whatever the rules are, we remain fully compliant” and added that MLB determines what is permitted. The comments come after former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino, who discussed the issue on his YouTube livestream “Baseball & Coffee,” alleged that the Mets have used AI, including pointing to spending by team owner Steve Cohen for the software.
The dispute reflects broader attention on how clubs use technology during games. The Guardian reports that MLB recently restricted certain functions of dugout iPads, underscoring that league oversight of in-game technology has tightened. Overall, the Mets reject the concerns raised in the public allegations, while MLB’s role in defining and enforcing its AI and in-game technology rules is presented as central to the team’s position.
