Key Points:
- David Stearns will continue as the Mets' president of baseball operations, while Zack Scott Falvey will serve in a different executive role rather than as general manager, according to an unnamed source.
- Falvey and Stearns previously worked together in Cleveland’s front office before Stearns joined the Astros and Falvey became Minnesota’s top baseball executive.
- Mets owner Steve Cohen has expressed a desire to add experienced voices to the front office to support Stearns, emphasizing the importance of diverse opinions and talent evaluation expertise.
- Despite a strong 2024 season with an NLCS appearance, the Mets have regressed in the past two years, finishing with an 83-79 record last year and under .500 this year, leading to early playoff elimination.
- The Mets recently removed Andy Green’s interim tag, signing him to a three-year contract through 2029, signaling continued confidence in the current managerial leadership.
