David Stearns is a Smart Man

Which makes it crazy how bad a run he’s on. It’s early, but it’s hard to comprehend how bad his moves have been. 
 

Bichette was his biggest acquisition. He’s been terrible. Jorge Polanco was his other big offensive move. Just as bad and now he’s injured. He gambled Semien over Nimmo, which looks terrible 23 games in. And Robert, who started off hot has cooled off badly during the past few weeks. His .737 OPS is by far the best of the crew. It’s looking more and more like Carson Benge was rushed. 
 

Devin Williams is a disaster. Luke Weaver has a 6+ ERA. Luis Garcia is already cut. Only Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers have been positive additions. 
 

That’s two good moves out of 10. 
 

Stearns is a smart guy with a track record of some success. How is he this bad?

And this is coming off of 2025. One of the worst years a Mets executive has ever had. 
 

maybe David Stearns sucks?

Sucks? Could be but overrated I think. Question would be was he the only one who put his past club together or did he just get all the credit. Who knows but he's been bad here to this point.

Stearns went to Japan to scout Munetaka Murakami. Murakami plays 1B. Stearns chose not to sign him. The Mets have had 4 different 1B this year and have hit a total of 19 HRs. Murakami has 11.

That don’t look so good does it. 
 

but there wasn’t a whole lot of interest in him overall. Big worries about his swing and miss. Otherwise he’d be somewhere other than the south side.
