The New York Mets went all-in this offseason, making some splashy moves to bolster their lineup. The biggest headline? Luring Juan Soto away from the Yankees in a cross-town coup that sent shockwaves through the city. On top of that, they brought back Pete Alonso, and Jesse Winker, and added some much-needed pop and speed with Jose Siri. The goal was clear: make this offense a force to be reckoned with.
But while the lineup is grabbing all the attention, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is most proud of something else—building a deep, reliable pitching staff.
