I wish we got a lefty like Puk for the pen. He was the guy I wanted because he'd be part of the core for the next 2 & a third seasons, he's 29, cheap, and can even close if needed. He'd have been perfect.
This is behind the scenes insight and yes a master class because a master of his field is providing it. He explains why he didn’t cave into a sellers market by overpaying
the adds are fine on face... but good to consider Winker was a late FA signing, before ST for 2m, Zuber was in LI, so from an HR perspective it would be wiser to make the Winker sign in ST, keep Stuart, scout LI if thats seen as a value (I mean talk about in your own backyard...) and consider the $17m wasted on Diekman, Fuji, Houser, Choi, Wendle,; being better and quicker to assess Iglesias> Wendle, Short... But, the huge wins/adds are Iglesias & Torrens. Just hate to lose Stuart for a guy who will play in KBO next yr and who could have been had for min in ST. Zuber if aware enough, they are active in the Indy lg. toss more $ to pitchers w the $ shown this time
Bit weird for Stearns to say they didn’t anticipate Benge’s still being on the board at 19, considering multiple prominent mock drafts had Benge going to the Mets at 19, including (I think) MLB Pipeline. Methinks he’s speaking to people who don’t follow this stuff closely, because Benge had been connected to the Mets for weeks. This was also a pretty mediocre draft class, but that’s a separate issue.
It wasn’t a master class. We’re 3 GB with 30 to play when we were in a playoff spot at the deadline. You failed miserably again Stearns. After never winning a pennant in Milwaukee. Everyone gave you credit for even making the playoffs in that small market cesspool because they’re content with mediocrity in Milwaukee just as they are on queens.
As far as position players, this is the best lineup and best bench I've ever seen on a Mets team.
I’m really happy with the moves we made. I’d give it an overall grade of really good/solid. I think the masterclass was getting Brazoban for Lara
B+ deadline, good moves on the margins to help us now and in the future
DS is the smartest and most baseball savvy exec in the organization since Frank Cashen. He WILL bring a WS to Flushing.
Like the moves. Glad we didn’t give up our top prospects for rentals! Great leadership

Really loved this interview, always love getting to grips with more of the inside sides of the game

This would be so much better with Marc and James
Stearns is all about value. Right down to his use of a Flowbee to cut his own hair. Never wasting $$$. Value, value, value.
Great episode 🎉
Great deadline didn't give up too much in a market this expensive is a win in my books, A- deadline.
Sterns is a genius,!

Master class is a bit much. Solid enough . Back end starter, couple decent bullpen arms and jessie winker.
Stearns for president....OH WAIT HE IS ALREADY! LGM
I'm a real tru mets fan idk about yaaa😂
In Sterns we should trust. LGM! .
Master class of crap ,sinker doesn’t make us a contenter ,This guy is a clearance bin shopper
