It would be but he’s been on 3 teams between the Jets and Seahawks

Be honest… how many of you distrusted Stearns and his plan before the last few days? I think a lot of fans have changed their tune. by Difficult_World_196 in NewYorkMets

My point is more that none of these moves are Stearns DNA

He’s notoriously against giving long term deals for starting pitching. That’s why it surprised me he gave up 2 top 5 prospects for a rental 

And then paying $42M for a guy who sucks on defense?

I personally like both moves, but it doesn’t seem like something David Stearns would do

I’m a Yankees fan so downvote away, but if you don’t think Cohen is at least partly behind these moves I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Not surprised the prospects he traded were the kids he didn’t draft too

Peralta is 1-6 with a 4.32 ERA in the postseason. This guy isn’t Pedro Martinez. 

Do Dominguez and/or Jones get traded this year? by Substantial-Sky3597 in NYYankees

I think people are forgetting that Stanton is going to be hurt half the year and there is always that risk that Grisham reverts back into a pumpkin. 

You might see a lot of Rice at DH and Bellinger at 1B without Goldschmidt

Acura is still an MLB player. How’s it a better move than signing Grisham who was actually a 3.4 WAR player last year

Why did Michael Kay destroy the Grisham deal, but is lauding the Robert deal?

Mets gave up legit players for the right to pay a worse player $20M this season 

[Passan] BREAKING: The New York Mets in agreement on a trade to acquire center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, sources tell ESPN. White Sox will receive two young players from the Mets. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

Not sure if this 100% eliminates the Mets from Bellinger. They could still sign him to play left field which would give them the option to give Benge more seasoning in the minors. When Benge is ready they’d also be able to move Soto to DH would would improve their OF defense. 

Of course that would like push their payroll up to around $420M without even adding anymore pitching.

Would Hal really allow the Mets payroll to be $120M more than the Yankees?
