The Mets hope to build a perennial contender with David Stearns at the helm.
The Mets didn’t have the year they wanted, but they had a very good day Tuesday, and what’s more, that should mean lots of great days to come. It’s been three years in the making, but David Stearns — the team’s new president of baseball operations, by way of the Upper East Side, Columbia prep, Harvard, MLB and most recently the Milwaukee Brewers — is worth the wait.
Cohen also got a guy who’s enthused about coming to New York, which is no small thing. He isn’t coming kicking and screaming like all those other small-market scaredy cats who turned him down a couple years ago. This is a guy who not only wants to come home – his mother still lives in Manhattan – but is said to be thrilled at the challenge of building a perennial winner in Flushing.
Stearns’ chances were surely enhanced by starting with an organization that was set up pretty nicely by his predecessor, Doug Melvin, who had the know-how to field a solid team himself in a small city, the eye to bring in Brandon Woodruff, Josh Hader, Devin Williams and also the guts to movefrom the front office to the dugout. But for seven years, he thrived in Milwaukee.
What you hear from his former workers is that he has the ability to look at things in unique ways, which was probably a necessity in a market that’s about a tenth as big as New York. You can say the Brewers’ division is easier than some, but they had to battle the perennially contending Cardinals and big-market Cubs despite having what some say is baseball’s worst TV deal.Annie Wermiel/NY Post
