Steve Cohen's Mets regime is finally starting to pay off, with executives from around the league taking note of the team's transformation. David Stearns' appointment as CEO marked a significant shift in strategy, particularly given his background working in small-market Milwaukee.
While last year's splashy signing of free agent Juan Soto was undoubtedly eye-catching, it may have been an isolated incident rather than a systemic change. This offseason has brought more substantial and far-reaching changes to the organization.
The recent departures of key players like Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, and Luisangel Acuña have left many wondering about the Mets' long-term trajectory. What was once a question mark is now starting to answer itself – and not in a way that might sit well with fans.

its like david stearns came in and was all "ok guys we got this" and the front office is now starting to listen i get that pete alonso etc got dealt but at least the mets are building for the future not just buying wins like in years past

... all it takes is a few big moves and suddenly everyone's like "oh look, the Mets are doing something right" 
... meanwhile the players who were supposed to be the cornerstone of this team are just slowly walking away one by one 
. I mean, I get that teams have to make adjustments and all that, but it feels like they're more interested in breaking up their core than building a solid foundation 
... and now the question is what's next? 
. I mean, what about all those stars they let go? It's like they're throwing away the foundation of this team, you know? And I get why they did it – gotta make room for new talent and stuff – but can't we keep some of our core players for once? 
I'm loving the direction Cohen is taking but what if it all falls apart? 
! It's like they're trying something new and it's actually working 
. I mean, people are talking about them being a legit contender now... it's surreal 
. David Stearns' appointment was a game-changer and now it's all coming together 
, but I trust the process 
. Bring on the playoffs! 
! I mean, Steve Cohen's been shakin' things up and it's payin' off in a BIG way! David Stearns comin' on board was like the catalyst they needed, trust me. And y'all thought last year's Juan Soto signing was wild, but this offseason? That's just the beginning 
. They're makin' some tough decisions, but it's all part of the plan. I mean, Pete Alonso and Luisangel Acuña gotta go? It's like... growth or somethin' 
. Still a bit worried about how fans are gonna react, but I'm here for the shakeup! 
. I mean, we've seen some teams make big moves and then come crashing down, so it's definitely possible that this could be one of those situations where things are more complicated than they seem.
The changes this offseason have been fire 
He must've brought some magic dust or something 
to help flip that script around. I'm still trying to process what happened to Alonso, Díaz, and the others... did they really just leave? 
.
... I mean, I get it, business is business, but can't we just have a solid core for once? 
but I gotta say, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride this season. The team's transformation under David Stearns is definitely a good thing, especially considering his background in small-market Milwaukee. However, I do think the recent departures of key players might have caught fans off guard. I mean, who saw Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz leaving? 
. But for how long? It'll be interesting to see if this momentum continues or just falters down the stretch 
. I mean, who would've thought that getting rid of all those superstars would be the key to success? It's like they took all the leftover parts from the MLB scrap yard and mashed them together into something new and (dare I say) surprisingly effective 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, losing Alonso and Díaz hurts, but they're not exactly the heart of the team anyway 
. Still, I gotta say, this is some of the best roster management we've seen from a big-market team in years 
. Fingers crossed they can find some solid contributors to bolster their lineup 
️. David Stearns coming in as CEO was a great move, it brought some fresh blood and new ideas to the table 
. Still, I think it's time for them to focus on building a sustainable winner, not just a flashy team that'll be gone by next season 
They were always so reliant on their ace guys, but what about a few deep breaths when the season gets tough? David Stearns has definitely brought some new blood to the team, but now they need to make some savvy moves in August to keep it all together
