Though Steve Cohen hasn’t met (or even spoken to) ex-Brewers honcho David Stearns yet, sources say he may not only be No. 1 list on the Mets’ list for baseball president, he may be the whole list for now.

One Mets-linked person said he believes other folks will surface, though he couldn’t name anyone.

One qualified candidate, Jeff Luhnow, wouldn’t be a consideration, sources say.

The Mets’ chances to land Stearns may be improving with the Red Sox rallying for their GM Chaim Bloom.

But if they can’t land Stearns, it isn’t out of the question Billy Eppler may remain chief decisionmaker.

Though this season is an abject disappointment so far, one rival pointed out: 1) the big deals aren’t long; 2) they haven’t traded great prospects; and 3) they can afford it.

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner provided input before GM Brian Cashman engineered his first coach firing in his 26th year.

Word is, Steinbrenner’s tipping point came after seeing Yankees hitters shut down by ex-Yankee Jameson Taillon. …

A couple rival executives say the Yankees, currently buyers, should sell. (That still seems unlikely.)

Said one: “Something’s wrong there.”
