Stearns should've been fired in June. The team was terrible because of Stearns. Waiting for the trade deadline or end of season makes it worse. Cohen not signing Alonso and not even really caring about it is unforgivable.

So- as of this time- not counting RP...The Met's have a 2027 roster of Holmes, McLean, Scott, Thorton as their top 4...And there is a chance that could workout.
On the Field- Soto/Benge/Ewing in the OF. Semien at 2B, Lindor at SS most likely Bichette at 3B and Alveraz at C.

Only Sot and Lindor can be counter on for their back of the baseball card numbers if they are not injured.

I love how Benge and Ewing play but you never know what year 2 brings and neither of them look to be the level that are franchise faces such as players like Wright, Reyes, Strawberry etc...

We know that Semien is fading fast, Bichette is a decent hitter that cant field, no corner IF power and no speed. Alveraz- if healthy, he can hit but cant field. But he is injured all the time.

So- what the heck is the plan going forward? We do not have a savior in our minor league system.

Can Cohen really trust Stearns to be the guy...Or is he, as my gut is telling me- just the guy that protects Cohen for the lockout that is coming up in 2027.

Pirates sending a SS Sammy Stafura back to the Mets who is number 9 in their system, reportedly will be top 5 in Mets system.
The ranking is probably too low. It is likely based on his preseason evaluation. At age 21, he has been destroying High-A. OPS 1.021!

Believe in the plan- we now have Lindor's replacement. Mets can trade Lindor in the off season for 3 prospects that are in some organizations top 30...
Of course- Lindor can veto any trade but why would he want to stay- Stearns plan is working out exactly how he wanted it- oh, except that no one he has brought in can play baseball. But still, believe in the plan. At least in a different sport, we could be at least tanking the season for a franchise changing draft pick- maybe Stearns has forgotten what sport he is in.

Honest question - is it possible for this man to do ANYTHING right in your eyes? Do you reflexively criticize every move he makes, just because he is the man who made it?

Mets are really getting crap in return so far. We’ll be back to having to buy players after the year layoff next season because the farm system is garbage once again. Stearns is a disaster in every aspect.

As a Yankees fan I never wanted to see Luke Weaver leave. I didn't like seeing him in a Mets uniform at all. Now thankfully it won't be so unpleasant with him in a Pirates uniform.

This season has been awful. Almost every move that Stearns made went wrong. However, this team wasn't going to be that much better with Nimmo, Pete and McNeil. They're a total of 4.6 War for this year.

The team's winning percentage with and without Soto this year, in my opinion, was the most important statistics for this awful season.

What games was Weaver going to save when we lose games 2-0? I like this prospect a lot. Already forgot the name but also like the middle infielder who is hitting the snot out of the ball and stealing bases. The rest of the prospects……..TBD

Weaver was signed thru next year

If there is a season next year the Mets bullpen might be one of the worst in history

the last 2 months of the season are going to be brutal

take the opposing teams over with this bullpen $$$$$&
