The World Series is over and the GM/PoBO meetings have come and gone. It’s now time where teams traditionally start to sign free agents, even if a ton of moves don’t come before the Winter Meetings. Now we can finally start to get some answers on how all-in the Mets will be in assembling their 2024 teams. Has Steve Cohen given David Stearns either firm or flexible payroll orders? Flexible, it seems. Here’s how Stearns termed it recently:
“I think Steve has proven he’s willing to invest in talent,” Stearns said. “This is an organization that’s proven it’s willing to invest in talent and we’re not going to shy away from that. I’ve said this at my opening press conference and I’ll continue to say it: we need to find the right time to do it.
“We can’t do it with every player. We can’t do it in every offseason. There are going to be points where we get really aggressive because we think it’s the right time, right opportunity right player, and there’s going to be points where we’ll be more reserved. Time will tell what this offseason brings; but sure, we’re clearly, as an organization, not afraid to make investments when they’re the right investments.”
