Stearns Defends Mets Deadline Selloff, Cites Failed Starter Talks
New York's team president says the Mets added significant organizational talent at the deadline but couldn't close on controllable starting pitching deals.
Mets president David Stearns addressed the trade deadline on a post-deadline call, characterizing the team's moves as a selloff that served the organization's long-term interests. Stearns said the Mets did attempt to acquire controllable starting pitchers but were unable to reach agreement on pricing with potential trade partners. The team did add what Stearns described as a substantial amount of talent to the organization overall.
