New York Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns led the team to an 89-win season, where they fell just two wins short of making the World Series in 2024. In his second year as their POBO, the Mets sit in a fierce division race with the Philadelphia Phillies. Stearns deserves a lot of credit for his team building, turning many under-the-radar free agents into gold, like Jose Iglesias, Sean Manaea, and Luis Severino last year, along with Griffin Canning (prior to his injury) and Clay Holmes this season. But Stearns isn’t perfect. Not every single one of his pick-ups has been great.
