Mets hire David Stearns as new president of baseball operations

David Stearns, former GM of the Brewers, has agreed to a five-year deal as the Mets' president of baseball operations.
Stearns has a successful track record building winning teams on a budget in Milwaukee.
The Mets hope Stearns can transform them into an organization like the Dodgers with sustained success.
Stearns' hiring brings stability and credibility, but questions remain about the team's timeline, core players, and manager.
Stearns will be tasked with key decisions about the roster, farm system, analytics department, and more for the Mets.
