Mets Welcome David Stearns As President Of Baseball Operations
The New York Mets formally introduced David Stearns as president of baseball operations on Monday.
Stearns, 38, was placed above general manager Billy Eppler and under owner Steve Cohen in a working structure fairly common around baseball but new to the Mets.
Cohen had been seeking a president of baseball operations to oversee the entire department since buying the club in November 2020. Several attractive candidates, including Stearns, were unavailable during a three-year process that Cohen called \"sort of dog years.\"
\"I\'m really excited by this,\" Cohen said. \"You know, I\'ve been really patient looking for the right person. As David and I got to know each other, I mean, it\'s clear that we\'re aligned in our thinking. We get along very well.\"
