The New York Mets have found a new front office head.카지노사이트
‘ESPN’, citing sources, reported on the 13th (Korean time) that the Mets are recruiting former Milwaukee Brewers president David Stearns (38) as the new president of baseball operations.
What has been a rumor for a long time is finally becoming reality. Stearns, who is from New York, grew up cheering for the Mets as a child, and has a background as a Harvard graduate, has been consistently considered as a candidate for the Mets’ new front office head.
However, he was unable to achieve his dream as his former team, the Brewers, did not allow an interview.
ESPN reported that he, whose contract with the Brewers expires after this season, has been given permission to conduct interviews with other teams starting August 1.
Multiple clubs showed interest, but in the end, they ended up joining hands with the Mets, who had previously shown interest.
The Mets invested aggressively this season, but the results fell short of expectations. As of the 13th, they only recorded 65 wins and 78 losses, remaining in 4th place in the National League East Division. Advancement to the postseason was virtually canceled.
At his last trade deadline, he cleared most of his roster, including Max Scheuer and Justin Verlander.
Afterwards, he started to clean up the front office by dismissing the person in charge of player development and professional scouting. General Manager Billy Eppler will remain in his position. He ends up working under Stearns.
Stearns took over as Brewers general manager in 2015. He led the team for seven seasons until he stepped down from his position in October 2022, and was recognized for his ability by leading the team to the postseason for four consecutive years from 2018 to 2021.
They acquired Christian Yelich through a trade and developed him into an MVP-level player, and discovered Corbin Burns, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, Joey Wimmer, Bryce Touran, and Drew Rasmussen in the draft.
Although he was criticized for trading Josh Hader to the San Diego Padres in the 2022 season, he is evaluated as having successfully led a small market team.
Just as the LA Dodgers were reborn as a new team by recruiting Andrew Friedman, who successfully led small market Tampa Bay, the Mets appear to be following a similar model. Attention is being paid to whether those who have not won a World Series since 1986 will be able to resolve their sorrow.
