David Stearns is looking to his past in an attempt to improve the Mets’ present.

The Mets are swinging a trade with Stearns’ former team, the Brewers, and adding starting pitcher Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor.

Milwaukee is acquiring pitching prospect Coleman Crow in the swap, The Post confirmed.

The 30-year-old Houser projects as a possible back-end starter coming off a respectable season in which he finished with a 4.12 ERA in 111 ⅓ innings.

Houser holds a career 4.00 ERA in seven major league years, the best of which came in 2021 (when he went 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA for Stearns’ Brewers).

Perhaps more importantly for the Brewers, Houser is projected to make around $5.5 million in arbitration, a contract the Mets will absorb.

Taylor is a righty-hitting outfielder with good speed who played all three spots on the grass last season, when he posted a .713 OPS in 243 major league plate appearances.

Crow, who was acquired from the Angels in last season’s Eduardo Escobar deal, could miss this season as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
