Some fans will never trust David Stearns. His approach with the New York Mets is…different. After the way things went in 2025, he lost the benefit of the doubt he gained in 2024.
Impatient fans are ready to run him out of town. Sensible ones are waiting before they pass judgment. Whichever side of the line you fall on, there’s still one thing left for him to do in order to win back at least some of the doubters.
