Met fans need to stfu and trust him. This is coming from a met fan

[@blakkat4126]

I have my faith. They got him for a reason.

[@Landis_Grant]

Yes, under Stearns, how many playoff series did his Craig Counsell’s Brewers win?

[@josephyodiceyodice5990]

They're not gonna trade any prospects for a solid bullpen arm any time, soon. They are looking beyond this season to 2025 and putting together a team of their liking. This season was a tran - sition year and nothing more; nomatter what anybody thinks ! I think they want to get younger and more athletic and model the team after the Braves and the way they tie up their younger players to team - friendly, long - term, deals. Scherzer and Verlander scared them off older, expensive, Free Agents. It'll be interesting to see how they actually put the team together going forward !?

[@benjacobs2560]

The Mets are closer than people think. If Diaz pitched like he’s capable of, this team would be 5-6 games over 500 and leading the wild card. Yeah, the Phillies are definitely a better team but the Braves and Dodgers don’t scare me. The Braves pitching is mediocre and the Dodgers lineup is top heavy. The Mets can compete now.

[@adamsantamaria5631]

The Phillies are def better, but the Mets almost always put up a good fight against them and often come out on top.

[@stephenchristian5739]

hehahahha dofers redskins mediocre?

[@straystrength6502]

Dang! Who that is breathing like that?!

[@hermanclements2857]

Stearns track record speaks for itself he knows what he’s doing

[@user-sp9su1mi1y]

Mr. Stern doing a good job

[@nycarpenter]

He's a smart patient GM.

[@Landis_Grant]

Stearns gets a 1-year honeymoon.

[@BC-pu2uq]

The guy is transparent! Refreshing!

[@johnarias8795]

WHO IS BREATHING LIKE THAT!? 😮

[@robchell9196]

The GuMmmmmmmmmmm!

[@stephenchristian5739]

who?

[@MarkASmith76]

Who is breathing into the mic as if they're going to die. It's brutal

[@Falcons8455]

That's Darth Vader

[@Just4Games-zw9qn]

Biggest pet peeve....hearing smart folks constantly say "ummmm" .....

[@thomasarquina1667]

He's got a career ERA near 5. Not a big pickup.

[@Falcons8455]

true. but hes been way better the last few years than earlier in his career

[@cryptowesley5148]

Adam Ottavino has a career 3.49 ERA LOL... You think that is a great pickup huh? For education purposes, it's not about what they did in their career. It's more about what they have done lately in the last couple years that really matters with relivers because they are all very volatile.

[@rickjason215]

I trust him, but I am not happy with the manager. He makes too many mistakes.

[@iunstoppable1]

Um....um......um.....um......um.....um.....um .........um

[@user-sp9su1mi1y]

Boomer Edison's said on his show trade Edwin Diaz.he crazy knows nothing about baseball

[@Landis_Grant]

Eliason

[@MakatiMazz]

Um now um that um you um found um a um batting um practice um pitcher um….

[@ericthorpe5670]

Haha he does UMMM quite a bit. It's an unfortunate habit when searching for the right words. He's well spoken though. Ummm.

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Another cheap low tier pitcher acquired by MINI MARKET STEARNS!!

[@jayjayfrmstatefarm9363]

Low tier pitcher with a .83 postseason ERA 👍🏾

[@kevinmartelo1202]

He's just having a rough year but he's been pitching well over the last month and has postseason experience!
