Steve Cohen Won't "Panic," But Mets Could Pursue David Stearns

 New York Mets owner Steve Cohen spoke candidly to Joel Sherman of the New York Post about the Mets recent struggles; the Amazin's have lost eight of nine now, and he was adamant that he will not blow this team up. 

Cohen stressed that he believes in the team, and thinks that a turnaround is possible.

Meanwhile, Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that the Mets are poised to hire former Milwaukee Brewers General Manager David Stearns to take over as the team's President of Baseball Operations. 

The Mets have been flirting with Stearns for years since Cohen took over the team, and with Stearns now a former employee of the Milwuakee Brewers it makes too much sense of the Mets not to pursue him.

 

The catch of course is that Stearns cannot sign with the Mets until the season is over due to the fact he's still under contract with the Brewers. 

Should Stearns come to the Mets, it will be fascinating to see what happens to GM Billy Eppler and Manager Buck Showalter, both of whom have drawn criticism from Mets fans all season.
