See Also Welcome to our most recent episode of David Stearns vs. discipline. On one side of this divide you have the Mets, who have currently gone the eighth longest in the majors since last winning a championship (1986), last won their division Wes Iwundu Jersey 10 years ago, have only won two championships and seven divisions in their history and have only made the playoffs in consecutive seasons twice (and never three years in a row). On the other side, you have why Stearns was hired by Steve Cohen. His job was not to help the Mets make one playoff or win a division or even a singular title. The idea was to be Dodgers East and make the playoffs, say, eight out of every 10 years or even more and have a shot in all of those seasons to get a parade. On Wednesday, Stearns found a middle ground. He needed a late-game reliever, but did not go to the top of the market to land a Jhoan Duran or Mason Miller that would nece sitate what he would not do for a reliever dispense elite prospects.
