If we had to pick just one thing that’s been the biggest issue for the Mets under the ownership of Steve Cohen, it’d be constructing their ideal front office. Former Milwaukee Brewers GM David Stearns is set to be a free agent this winter. It makes too much sense to bring the NYC native back home to be New York’s President of Baseball Operations, right?
It most certainly would. However, the Mets could have some competition for his services when Stearns becomes available.
In each of his first two offseasons as owner, Cohen tried to fill the top decision-making role for the Mets.
