The Mets Desperately Need Organizational Stability

Robert Colonna argues that the New York Mets must establish organizational stability across their front office and coaching staff to achieve sustained success. Analyzing 25 years of data, Colonna highlights that the Mets have suffered from extensive turnover, including seven lead executive changes, which ties them with the Los Angeles Angels for the most in Major League Baseball over that span.

The author notes that high payrolls under owner Steve Cohen have helped mask deficiencies, leading to a .513 winning percentage. However, Colonna points out that departing Mets managers, executives, and coaches frequently struggle to secure equivalent roles elsewhere, underscoring broader institutional shortcomings.
