It’s finally happening.

David Stearns will reportedly become the Mets president of baseball operations when the regular season ends.

We knew this would potentially be coming, but it was not definitive. Now, it is.

The Mets get themselves one of the highest-regarded, young front office executives in baseball.

This team has badly needed that lead baseball voice in the front office that has had plenty of turnover in the past couple years.

Stearns will give the Mets stability they desperately need.

To react to the Stearns news, we bring you an emergency episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast with me and Mets beat writer Mike Puma.
