The New York Mets are struggling, and David Stearns' job is in jeopardy after a disastrous start to the 2026 season.
The team has a 36-50 record and is standing 13th in the National League, with a recent win against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 30.
The Mets' roster revamp before the season has brought nothing but hardships, injuries, and poor performance.
David Stearns could be in hot water after Carlos Mendoza was recently fired, despite the Mets ownership group backing him in early May.
A recent piece by Zachary D. Rymer for Bleacher Report predicts that David Stearns will not make it through the 2026 season.
The upcoming MLB trade deadline will be important for David Stearns' job status, and nobody on the Mets roster, except Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, should be safe from trade discussions.
The Mets' poor signings and trades, including the underperformance of Marcus Semien, have contributed to the team's struggles.
The team's recent 12+ game losing streak in April and the lack of production from major offensive additions, such as Jorge Polanco and Luis Robert Jr., have also hurt the team.
And the Mets' decision to get rid of players like Brandon Nimmo, Pete Alonso, and Jeff McNeil has not paid off.
But the Mets still have a chance to turn their season around, and the next month will be crucial in determining the future of the team.
The Mets' standing and record, including their recent win, are a testament to the team's struggles, with a record of 36-50 as of July 1.
