David Stearns spoke to the Media yesterday at the GM Meetings.
NY Post:
- Mets’ new president makes pitching offseason priority “’I don’t think that it’s any secret that we are probably a little short on pitching at the moment,’ David Stearns said…Stearns said it’s possible one spot will be filled by one of the team’s depth pieces. It’s a group that includes David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Jose Butto and JoeyLucchesi.”
- Mets’ David Stearns surprised by Craig Counsell’s Cubs move: ‘Didn’t see that coming’ David Stearns added: “…throughout this whole process I told Craig he needs to make the right choice for himself and his family…and I am happy he did”
