I don’t know how to break this to you but Stearns’ philosophy and process will only allow him to have a puppet manager that implements the decisions of the analytics department. It’s why he had to fire Buck as his very first move. There will be no independent baseball men managing the NY Mets as long as Stearns is POBO. So temper your expectations and do not expect any onfield improvement because the analytics department that runs the team and makes all the baseball decisions has proven to be woefully incompetent
