The New York Mets are hiring David Stearns as their president of baseball operations, according to sources.
Stearns, 38, has long been rumored to take over the Mets after stepping down as the Milwaukee Brewers president after the 2022 season and will officially begin in early October, after the regular season ends.
Stearns was denied permission by the Brewers to talk about the Mets\' top baseball operations job after the 2021 season, but his contract with Milwaukee, which is set to expire after this season, allowed him to speak with other teams following this year\'s Aug. 1 trade deadline.
