David Stearns has a habit of reuniting with players. It should never be a surprise for him to bring anyone associated with the Milwaukee Brewers to the New York Mets. Whenever a player becomes available and you spot that he was drafted by the Brewers in the Stearns era, see if you can find a reason why he might match the Mets.
That’s what happened this weekend. To clear room for Kazuma Okamoto, Paxton Schultz was DFA’d. Drafted by the Brewers in 2019 and quickly traded to the Toronto Blue Jays, he has that Stearnsian lineage in him.
