Very excited that David Stearns is coming aboard. Always felt inevitable. He’ll have a solid prospect pool and Uncle Stevie’s money to work with. Big expectations but I think he’s a perfect fit for his hometown team. #LGM

It’s not often in baseball you get to work for the team you grew up loving.
Stearns & Co. built a helluva front office in Milwaukee, but you gotta be happy for him to go home and work for the Mets.
This isn’t small market vs big market, this is some really cool dream stuff. https://t.co/ZwEUEyqpno
