AAOP: The Book of Stearns 2: A Second Book!
Keeping things simple, the 2024 New York Mets were a fun ride. Grimace, Sean Manaea becoming an ace for several months, Francisco Lindor submitting one of the best seasons in Mets history and Mark Vientos going from an afterthought to a playoff hero and mainstay in the Mets order. The first season of the David Stearns era was a successful one, but the goal now should be to build a World Series winner and with a cleaner cap sheet, this is the offseason for the Mets to get aggressive.

The New York Mets walked into the 2023 regular season as one of the best teams in the National League and limped out with a 75-win season.

Are the NY Mets too old to win the World Series?
The New York Mets are operating at a normal level, second place in the National League East. However, sneaking into the playoffs as a wildcard team isn’t the goal.

What an MVP season would look like from NY Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor
For the New York Mets, a successful repeat of several offensive seasons would be vital for repeating the success of the 2022 season.
