Stearns’ roster this year:
• has multiple players out of position
• is relying on multiple SP’s who were hurt/awful in '25
• has no 1st baseman
• is 9 games under .500 w/ a $300M+ payroll
He was given elite resources and failed miserably. Hold him accountable. #Mets
Moving on from David Stearns because of this season might not be the appropriate move, says @Ken_Rosenthal.
"You've had some good things happen under him. He just needs to make better decisions."
Brewers have DFA'd Lance McCullers
He made two relief appearances for Milwaukee, allowing two earned runs in 4.2 innings while striking out five and allowing three hits and five walks
Being embraced by the @Mets and New York City meant everything to David Wright. After being diagnosed with spinal stenosis, he officially retired from baseball, but not before one last goodbye: “September 29, 2018.
I’ll never forget that day as long as I live.
The last time I had the immense honor of putting on that number 5 New York Mets jersey and taking the field for the best fans in all of baseball.
And, I gotta say, I’m not an overly emotional person. As my wife will attest, you’ll almost never see me cry. But that day?
Wow.
That whole experience threw me for a loop, and the tears….
They just kept flowing.
It was like I couldn’t shut off the faucet.
And it’s weird because you want to enjoy the moment as much as possible, but, at the same time, you know it’s the end.
Like … this is it.
So as happy as I was to be able to, I guess — and I’ll put quotation marks around this — ‘make it back,’ I knew getting back on the field in Queens that night also meant the end of my run.
There was no coming back.
As an athlete, you always want to go out on your own terms. You want to write your final chapter. Not many people get the opportunity to do that, though — and I guess you could say that I didn’t get the chance to do that either. But I did get that one final night to express how I felt about the city, and our fans, and about the organization.
I couldn’t be more thankful for that opportunity....
Now, sure, selfishly … yeah, I wish with all my heart that I could’ve made it back and played a few more years and been able to show the fans the David Wright they remembered. I would’ve loved to have made that happen.
But I gave it everything I had. I really, really did.
It just wasn’t in the cards for me.” https://t.co/JQcMOVVJjs
@SleeperMets@SleeperRays No way in hell is any organization trading 2 top 10 prospects for Peralta after the year he’s had & the fact that he’s a rental.
@michaelgbaron@just_mets - Luke Weaver to the Cubs for Jaxon Wiggins & Brett Bateman
- Freddy Peralta to the Rays for Caden Bodine & Jackson Baumeister
- AJ Minter back to the Braves for Herick Hernandez & Dixon Williams
Only 3 players this century age-21 or younger have accomplished the following in their first 53 games:
15+ XBH | 20+ BB | 9+ SB
Fernando Tatis Jr.
James Wood
A.J. Ewing 🍎
@MaxCollectsMets@ZackScottSports He’d played 6 professional games at the time & needed shoulder surgery.
Hindsight is 20/20.
It sucks, but looking back, without having the knowledge we do now, the move was totally understandable.
Hey John, I “watch”, but it’s based on the following (with help of mlbapp) …
1. Is McLean or Scott pitching? - if yes, tune in for start of game
2. Is Soto, Benge or Ewing at bat? - if yes, tune in for the at bat
3. Do the Mets have the lead? - if yes, watch in the background
4. Do the Mets have the lead in the 8th? - if yes, tune in on broadcast
5. Are the Mets getting their doors blown off before the 3rd inning? - if yes, don’t bother, tune in tomorrow, but check box score to see what Soto, Benge and Ewing did
That’s how you watch
The Mets losing has no impact on me. I've reached that point. Win, lose, doesn't really matter at this point.
I woke up, felt nothing, just looking forward to the trade deadline.
It's an extended off season. Once you accept that, this is all way easier.
Being a Mets fan is so wild because I’m low key excited about the trade deadline
Like getting that notification that says Bret Baty has been traded for a sock puppet and Ronny Maurico has been traded for an 8 piece chicken tender is gonna hit so hard
Steve Cohen on how he handles the Mets losing:
“I’m getting ripped around the dinner table. We watch every game, when you’re watching them lose, we’re feeling the same thing. I said I wanted to do something great for New York, I’m failing.”
