Could former Brewers honcho David Stearns be coming to lead the Mets for 2024?
Rumors suggest Mets owner Steve Cohen and Stearns could possibly get together on a monster deal — maybe the biggest ever for a baseball executive — for Stearns to come to Queens as the leader of the team’s baseball operations, presumably with a baseball president title.
“I have never met the person, but why would that matter?” Cohen responded to The Post. “I’m so focused on the Mets season right now. It’s not something I’m thinking about.” Some suggest universally respected manager Craig Counsell, a free agent after 2023, is a natural to join Stearns wherever he goes. Multiple teams have called with interest in Counsell, so he can call his shot.
, that deal did wind up netting starting catcher William Contreras, useful reliever Joel Payamps and pitching prospect Robert Gasser. The Brewers have the sixth-best winning percentage from 2018-22 — behind just the Dodgers, Astros, Yankees, Rays and Braves.
