Here is my plan for David Stearns. He is the front office. Well, the biggest part of it since there is still no general manager. I don’t believe that Pete Alonso wants to return to the New York Mets. So, I won’t be upset if he doesn’t return. I won’t blame

The Mets are 0-5, that’s the worst start since 2005. But then those Mets won six in a row. These Mets won’t do that. They don’t have Tom Glavine or Pedro Martinez. That’s part of the problem here. They have a rookie manager in Carlos Mendoza and a new GM.
