We hadn’t really heard a peep about the Mets’ eventual pursuit of David Stearns to be their next President of Baseball Operations for a while. All of a sudden, the rumors and reports are coming fast and furious.
And for people wanting New York to reel in Stearns, it’s looking good.
There’s been this expectation throughout the industry that the Mets would indeed hire Stearns once his contract allowed him to start pursuing job opportunities beyond the Milwaukee Brewers. Earlier on Wednesday, we heard he’s had the ability to talk with rival teams about job openings since the trade deadline passed.
