The Mets David Stearns Timeline: Buckle up. it's a long one. Because I am fucking done with the David Stearns defenders. #LGM

2024: David Stearns takes over a basically ready made roster. He throws a bunch of 1 year contract darts at a wall because he wants to rebuild the core of the team in his identity, so he has no interest in doing anything major. The darts mainly stick (he still only brought up Iglesias and Vientos because his other darts sucked or players got injured). The Mets go on a magical run with the most likeable team since 2015 and get within 2 wins of the World Series. David Stearns masterplan will have to wait.

2025: as a result of 2024, David Stearns is gifted one of the best players in baseball by wonderful owner @StevenACohen2.. David follow this gift up by doing basically nothing else to improve the roster other than begrudgingly signing Pete Alonso to an essential 1 year deal because he cant justify breaking up the core of this team and rebuilding it coming off a NLCS appearance + Juan Soto. Result? The offense performs decently enough for the season, while the starting pitching completely crumbles. Stearns responds by adding exactly zero starting pitchers at the deadline, instead going all in on a bunch of relievers and a corpse CF. The Mets miss the playoffs by 1 game, solely due to Stearns failure to put a starting rotation together + most of his deadline moves completely failing.

2026: Now that the Mets AREN'T coming off a great season, David realizes NOW is the time to start his plan. He lets Alonso and Diaz walk. Trades Nimmo and McNeil. The replacements for ALL these players are either hurt, useless, a free agent next year, or all 3. David Stearns replaced Alonso and Nimmo's 26 homers this year so far with Polanco and Semien's 10 home runs. NOT GREAT. On top of that, remember why we missed the playoffs in 2025? The terrible starting pitching? Stearns reacted to that by bringing in 1 (1!!!!!!) rental starting pitcher who has never pitched outside Milwaukee before. There is ZERO reason, why this lineup could not have had Alonso, Nimmo AND Bichette.

In summation: Going into a year where we just needed to run the lineup back and invest in starting pitching, David Stearns decided to gut the lineup, upset the fanbase, bring in a few mercenaries, and almost completely ignore the only issue he had to fix.

He is an abject failure as the President of Baseball Operations, who has been protected and coddled by the media and podcasters because he's accessible.

He has destroyed this franchise for the sole purpose of wanting to treat the Mets like a GM Mode of MLB The Show and rebuild them in his image. He's a fraud.

Fire him. Today. #LGM
