In what has been a disastrous few days for New York sports, the Mets actually made some good news today. After weeks, months, hell even years of waiting, the Mets finally hired David Stearns to be their President of Baseball Operations to help build out the front office, modernize the organization, and bring the Mets into a badly-needed new era.
On the field, they kept the good times rolling against the Diamondbacks with a 7-4 win featuring contributions from several players who might be built around in 2024. Ryne Nelson was on the mound for Arizona, and he has been one of the worst regular starting pitchers in baseball this year by ERA.
