Cohen backs Stearns, pledges to ride out Mets' five-year plan

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen publicly reaffirmed his support for David Stearns, saying Stearns will remain president of baseball operations for the full five-year contract despite a disastrous season that saw the team slump to 34-47 and Mendoza being fired. Cohen described Stearns as thoughtful and adaptable, emphasized a hands-off ownership approach, and indicated it’s too early to judge the plan’s overall success while also warning that changes could be on the table if performance doesn’t improve by year five. The piece notes underperforming signings and injuries as contributing factors to the Mets’ struggles.
