David Stearns set forth a goal last season that the Mets would be competitive in 2024. He put together a team that did just that. Now, they're headed to the playoffs.
David Stearns , President of Baseball Operations for the New York Mets , is speaking to the media during a press conference before the baseball game at Citi Field in Corona, N.Y., on August 16, 2024. NO USE FRANCEDrenched in champagne in the middle of the Atlanta Braves’ visiting locker room, the gravity of the moment was not lost on New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns , who, in his first year with the club, built a roster that found its way into the postseason.
The postseason has always been a fleeting concept for the Mets. This was just their 11th postseason berth in 63 years of baseball. It is also just the fourth time in franchise history that they made the playoffs twice in a three-year span .Yet New York’s exhilarating win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday to clinch a spot in the Wild Card Series against the Milwaukee Brewers already fulfilled one promise made at his introductory press conference just 364 days ago.
Jose Iglesias might very well go down as the greatest minor-league signing in franchise history. The veteran utility infielder did not get the call to the majors until May 31 but was one of the Mets’ most productive, vital players. He batted .337 in 85 games with an .830 OPS, ending the season with a 22-game hitting streak.
