Stearns makes a decent living poaching Yankees and Brewers talent.
Solid pickup
It’s probably a benefit to the Mets to sign players who won’t have to relocate to a new area. Probably matters quite a bit to players.
I like it.
Please tell me how I’m supposed to feel about this
Edit: thanks everyone 🙂
He was a monster in October 2024 so I am optimistic about his potential as a reliever
Low risk high reward throw him in the lab you might have something.
He’s a legit ML reliever. Underlying metrics were meh last year but he has been a dependable arm appearing in 60+ games the last two years.
Maybe they saw something they liked in his stuff. I inherently trust Stearns with the pen. Last year we got chewed up by injuries and the trade deadline acquisitions didn’t all work out; they were still good decisions.
He is a good piece.
Also Stearns appears to highly value ex-Yankees lol
Remember that everyone gets better after leaving the Bronx
I like the move, not much to complain about at all. A good arm who under-performed analytics last year. Though it makes me wish we got Rogers because our bullpen would be looking super nice at this point.
Weaver and D. Williams! Nice!
Come on Bellinger!
I believe in David Stearns.
Good move, one more arm and I think the pen should be pretty much done… but wouldn’t be surprised if our next signing is a bat (I still think a padres trade could be coming up for morejon/estrada/another arm, can’t see us paying a crazy price for miller now with how stable the pen is rn)
The bullpen might actually be a strength if we can get one more arm.
2 years 22 milliom dollars is fair after what Rodgers got. Trade for both Megill and Perelta if the Brewers are being fair and then we have a nice staff
I like this a lot, every Yankee fan I know is gutted (worth it alone) because pre-injury he was a revelation in the setup role – arguably their best reliever and definitely their most used. He was originally a starter so can be stretched to cover multiple innings if needed.
Good pickup by Stearns.
Its a good move and its convinced me Bellinger is on his way here next.
Nice! Here’s to hoping he continues his success with us. Alexa, play The Weaver System by Iotunn.
Mets not beating the allegations
The Mets have had one of the busiest offseasons so far.
Three notable signings and a big trade.
More is definitely on the way.
Feels like people cheering this move is just coping.
One of the better options left and at least we know he can handle New York
Did Stearns not watch that team blow games last year?
2nd Mets pitcher from DeLand, Florida
Soto, Williams, Weaver, maybe Bellinger…
Are we 100% certain that Steve Cohen is not in fact three Steinbrenners in a trench coat?
Steve loves to pay ex Yankees.
About to appoint Aaron Boone as bench coach
Stearns loves signing former Yankee and/or Brewer players….hmmmm
I remember Weaver being great early in the year and then trash the rest of the year
Mets BP should be fairly solid. Be nice if they could add at least one more quality arm to the Nunez (if he comes back healthy) Minter, Raley, Weaver and Williams mix.
One more middle reliever signed, 8 more to go.
Yankees who have proven they can be successful in NYC should absolutely always be on the Mets radar. We’ve seen lots of guys come to the Mets and the Yankees and not be able to handle the pressure of NYC. Taking that worry off your checklist as a GM or POBO is a big plus when considering who to sign and/or trade for. Yankees have acquired tons of exMets over the decades too. Even great ones like Straw, Doc, Cone, Beltran, Ventura…etc.
I’m a Yankee fan but come in peace. I wish Luke Weaver well. He was a great reliever for us in 2024 and then again last season until his injury. I hope you guys can fix him. He definitely has a lot of talent and is a great guy.
Don’t sleep on The Dream Weaver!
Luke Weaver came down to earth last year. Not really impressed. Why does Stearns go after so many ex Yankees?
The 2028 payroll just keeps looking better and better. Definitely worth getting 76 wins next year
This fool Stearns shows you a mirage images of Mason Miller, Taric Skubal, Robert Saurez, Kyle Tucker….and then he sign Williams, Weaver, maybe Cody Bellinger, Peche, and for sure Paul Goldschmidt, Zack Peak, Isaac De la Cruiz, n Polanco. THIS IS WHAT WILL GET MET FANS EXCITED CMON. These penny pinching ideas work in Milwaukee not NYC.
Now the Mets are literally embracing the little brother energy

At this point it’s about getting the best relievers you can and if someone doesn’t have to move it’s more incentive.
like it don’t love it.
Hello .400
If he’s being used a middle reliever. 7th inning guy it’s a good move.
Got sent this highlight reel of Luke Weaver sound bites. Funny dude. https://www.yesnetwork.com/video/best-interview-moments-from-luke-weaver
