MLB analyst Dan Clark left no crumbs while going off on New York Mets president David Stearns’ facial expressions in a recent press conference.
Before their homestand this week, Mets President of Baseball Operations seemingly laughed when asked about dismantling a failed roster. Clark mentioned the Mets’ lavish payroll this season and how that facial expression was a bad look on the management.
“Look at this smug imbecile,” Clark wrote on X. “He spent over $380M this season to languish in last place. Laughing in response to a question about dismantling a failed roster is such a terrible look…”
Clark’s comments were in response to the Mets’ terrible-looking 2026 season, where, despite being the MLB’s highest payroll team, they are struggling at the bottom of the NL East division with a 43-61 record. Manager Carlos Mendoza was fired earlier this season after a poor start. Moreover, injuries to stars like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto have also played a part in an underwhelming season so far.
Mets Owner Backing David Stearns Despite Disappointing Season
The Mets moved fast on Carlos Mendoza, firing him, but they appear confident in their president, David Stearns.
With a disappointing season on the cards, many are asking for the sacking of Stearns. However, Mets owner Steve Cohen is in no mood to remove Stearns from his job.
“I’m going forward with David as our leader,” Cohen said on the New York Post’s podcast. “There’s no guarantees in anything. I’m going to evaluate this as we go along. David knows that it hasn’t worked out the way he thought it would work out, the way I thought it would work out. He’d be the first one to admit that he’s made some mistakes.
“We’ll figure out what changes need to be made. But the change that’s not going to be made is moving David out at this point. I’m just not going to do it.”
The above comments came when the Mets were 36-50 on the season. They haven’t improved a lot since.
With the trade deadline approaching, there are plenty of questions on the team’s buyer/seller status with several of its stars under the gun. This includes Francisco Lindor, who is still owed over $180 million from his 10-year, $341 million contract.
