There will be no further regime change at the top of the New York Mets organization.
In an appearance on "The Show" with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman podcast on Wednesday, July 1, Mets owner Steve Cohen backed president of baseball operations David Stearns despite the club's disappointing 36-50 start to the 2026 season.
"I’m going forward with David as our leader," Cohen said. "Listen, there’s no guarantees in anything. I’m going to evaluate this as we go along. Listen, David knows that it hasn’t worked out the way he thought it would work out, the way I thought it would work out. He’d be the first one to admit he’s made some mistakes. And this is a guy who’s reflective
The vote of confidence comes in the wake of last week's shakeup at the major league level when manager Carlos Mendoza was fired on June 26 and Andy Green stepped in as interim manager.
Mendoza was in his final year of a three-year contract, while Stearns is in his third year of a five-year deal to lead the Mets baseball operations unit.
"In my conversations with him, he’s incredibly thorough," Cohen said. "There aren’t answers that I walk away and said, ‘Oh, I don’t agree with that.’ He’s pretty buttoned-down and knows what he’s talking about. We’re two and a half years into a contract. Everyone forgets – does he get any credit for ’24? Does that not count? And we almost made it to the World Series, and that was just two years ago.
"So it’s a mixed record. I’m not going to say it’s going great, but it’s too early to really make evaluations and I feel really strongly that if we’re gonna burn and churn, that’s a terrible place to be."
