David Stearns is reportedly still searching for options in the offseason market, and among his top objectives, he may be looking to add a big starter to the New York Mets roster for more firepower next season, according to a recent report from Ken Rosenthal.
āThe Mets are going to sign a big starter this offseason,ā Rosenthal asserted during an episode of Foul Territory. He also confirmed that Stearns himself is ready to commit fully to this special player: āDavid Stearns is going to go out of his comfort zone to do that.ā
Of course, the identity of this player remains unknown, as no names for this ābig starterā are currently circulating. However, speculation suggests it will be someone with a strong batting average who can give the Mets more power at the plate.
Mets fans react to Rosenthalās claim
Reactions to Rosenthalās assertion about a potential big starter were largely favorable toward the insider, though many called for more. āOf course, they need TWO big starters,ā said Ricky Brody (@rickjbrody), while other fans offered their opinions on who the future player might be.
āIām hoping for Valdez or Cease. Apparently they didnāt meet with Valdez at the winter meetings. I hope that doesnāt mean theyāre out on him,ā wrote Goose (@ryangor47698792). Another Mets fan agreed with that assessment: āIts Cease, stuff monster and has been an act while also being a āreclamationā project for Stearns,ā opined Sunny Days Zach (@sunnydayszach) on X.
