Mets Fans Should Be Filled WIth Hope After Seeing Brewers Reach World Series

Baseball Now argues that New York Mets fans should feel hopeful following the Milwaukee Brewers' run to the World Series due to the roster-building track record of Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns. Stearns, who joined New York before the 2024 season after nine years in Milwaukee, originally acquired 12 of the 26 players on the Brewers' National League Championship Series roster through trades, the draft, and international free agency.

The article highlights key Milwaukee contributors brought in under Stearns, including Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, and starting pitchers Robert Gasser, Jacob Misiorowski, and Logan Henderson. Baseball Now notes that Stearns built a contending core despite limited spending in Milwaukee, suggesting his talent-acquisition strategy will eventually surround the high-spending Mets with high-caliber young players.
