David Stearns refuses to believe the past week and a half defines the 2025 Mets. He also will not ignore it.
The president of baseball operations engaged reporters for 20 minutes Tuesday in a news conference about the issues derailing the Mets before they lost for the 10th time in 11 games, 7-4 to the Braves.
And in a one-on-one moment afterward, he conceded this downturn has changed the picture of what he thinks his team needs to add before the July 31 trade deadline.
He said he would not share what he sees as the current priority, but did add, “It will probably change again in the next 10 days.”
