New York Mets PBO David Stearns has executed a full-scale roster upheaval this offseason, and the house-cleaning effort has been contextualized by plenty of rumors about a troublesome Mets clubhouse in 2025.
While these rumors have been denied by Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and others attached to the organization, it's obvious that Stearns' priority entering the offseason was to re-build New York's clubhouse and depth chart dynamic from the ground up, starting with Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto as cornerstones. The specific reasons for the massive roster turnover are known only to New York's front office.
