New York Mets Fans Call for David Stearns to Be Fired Ahead of Texas Rangers Series
Stearns has been getting a lot of heat from the Mets fanbase over the second-half collapse. He made horrible trades at the trade deadline. Cedric Mullins and Ryan Helsley have not performed well since being acquired at the trade deadline. Stearns has also put together a horrible starting rotation and has relied upon rookies to save him.
If the Rangers were to sweep the Mets this weekend, Stearns seat is only going to get hotter. New York fans will want to see Stearns fired if they miss the playoffs and they show their frustration on Twitter.
You can tell me I’m wrong and yell and scream but David Stearns should lose his job for this collapse

This is on David and @StevenACohen2 in how he let him build this team. EVERY fan knew in June there were issues and you guys did little to fix it. Trade deadline was a DISASTER once again. Waited to long on everything. The GM built this disaster. Time for BIG changes.

This team is a catastrophic joke. This entire management team including stearns should have been gone on August 1. Joke.

Well, there are some fans who believe that manager Carlos Mendoza has hands tied behind his back when it comes to lineup and bullpen decisions. They have not liked his decisions, but Mendoza is frustrated with the results. Stearns did not give him much pitching to work with. There is a reason why the Milwaukee Brewers are thriving without him.
Even though the Mets made it to the NLCS last season, there are major questions about Stearns in the Mets front office moving forward. Many fans also believe that Juan Soto and Pete Alonso being signed last offseason had a lot to do with owner Steve Cohen and not necessarily Stearns.
Stearns did well with the Brewers, but he is operating the Mets like a mid-market team. If New York were to miss the playoffs this season, fans are going to want to see someone running baseball operations in the front office like Theo Epstein.
