David Stearns Makes Key Mets Front Office Move with Addition of 11-Year MLB Veteran

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is a thoughtful executive, whether many agree with him or not. By nature, the executive attempts to gather analytics as one of the main managerial components that help him lead. Yet, mostly to unfortunate results, the Mets struggled to justify not only a $300 million payroll but also his $10 million salary. Entering his fourth season in Queens, Stearns may need to bring in more than those who rely on advanced statistics. To accomplish this goal, he may have just done that.
