Let this one sink in:
Without an all time fluky Linsanity run by Jose Iglesias, David Stearns would be entering his 4th season as POBO with:
- 0 playoff appearances with an expanded playoffs
- a farm system out of the top 15
- 0 blue chip prospects
A abject disaster
Mets are an embarrassment to the game of baseball. Time to change the channel and literally do anything else but give this awful fucking team a second more of my time
Speaking to reporters in Baltimore today, Pete Alonso said the Mets’ winter overhaul didn’t catch him off guard, as the Orioles quickly emerged as one of the first teams to pursue him in free agency, ultimately building toward what he called “a match made in heaven.”
The Mets showed little interest and never extended an offer, a detail that became relevant when Brandon Nimmo reached out to Alonso in November as he weighed uncertainty about his future in New York. At the time, Nimmo was in limbo after being told by David Stearns that a potential trade with the Rangers would go through if he waived his no-trade clause, prompting him to seek advice from a longtime friend and former Mets teammate.
During that conversation, Nimmo told Alonso, “I really want to be teammates with you.”
Alonso recalled his response:
“I’m like, ‘Listen, they haven’t talked to me at all,’ ” Alonso said. “I’m like, ‘I want to be teammates with you, too, buddy. But listen, this is just where we’re at. They haven’t reached out [to me] at all. You have to do what’s best for your family.’
“Everything just unraveled from there.”

The Mets are so fucking bad. David Stearns has put together an incomplete team and continues to roster players that bring 0 value to the team. Mendoza doesn’t pinch hit Melendez for Vientos in the most obvious situation ever. Nobody in this org does anything right at the moment
The Mets are bad baseball team.
The Mets are an unlikable baseball team.
The Mets are not an enjoyable baseball team to watch.
You can call me negative all you want. Fact is, I’m right.
The Mets are a flat out awful baseball team. Thank you to David Sterns for replacing all the players who produced with injury prone / washed up players who don’t give a damn. An absolute disgrace. And shame on you for allowing it @StevenACohen2
