Steve Cohen really has no other place to turn other than David Stearns.
The Mets owner did not amass his riches by negotiating without leverage. But the implications of not landing Stearns to run baseball operations are such that Cohen probably not only has to give him a record contract for a baseball operation executive, but also has to put into writing clear powers, such as final call on a manager, among other items.Cohen has been frustrated for three years by an inability to land a desirable president of baseball operations.
Stearns has ties elsewhere, notably to Houston. Luhnow hired him to the Astros as their lone assistant GM, which ultimately launched him to the Brewers job. Stearns met his wife, Whitney, in Houston. Astros owner Jim Crane has said he wants to hire a president of baseball operations. In addition, a club such as the Red Sox could see Stearns as a unique front-office free agent and pursue him. Based on his credentials and reputation, Stearns will not lack suitors.
But money will, of course, also matter. Executive salaries are not made publicly available, but it is believed the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, makes north of $10 million annually. One executive theorized Stearns could be looking at a five-year, $75 million-ish pact that has an opt-out after two seasons, just in case the marriage is not what was sold to him.
