David Stearns bails on his worst NY Mets trade since coming to Queens

If New York Mets fans needed a sign of rejuvenation, last night's victory over the Chicago Cubs provided one. Now, Mets fans' optimism can increase a little more after it was announced today by The Athletic's Will Sammon that the team is designating struggling outfielder Jose Siri for assignment.

Siri's DFA comes with the corresponding announcement that Tyrone Taylor is being reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Taylor will replace Siri in the outfield. This is a move that will excite Mets fans, and rightfully so.

David Stearns' trade for Jose Siri was arguably his worst thus far in the Mets' front office.
