Age has never been much of an issue for David Stearns, mostly because he's always been the youngest guy in the room no matter what he's doing.
Hired to be the Brewers' general manager in September 2015 at the age of 30, Stearns became the youngest GM in the game -- a title he still holds. But even as he competes with more experienced executives -- some more than twice his age -- Stearns believes he's putting Milwaukee on a course to contend in the not-too-distant future.
MLB.com recently sat down with Stearns in his Spring Training office at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix to discuss his fast track to the GM's office, what he learned while working for Mark Shapiro and Jeff Luhnow, and what it was like for him to turn over half of his 40-man roster in one offseason.
