Mendoza and Stearns truly appear to be the future of the Mets franchise, and are a unified front under the ownership and finances of Steve Cohen, who seems to have no desire of going anywhere anytime soon. The Mets have a pair of younger leaders at two important positions, and if success follows their incredible 2024 run, it would be fair to assume both men might hold their positions for some time to come.
When looking around baseball, there are two organizations that have been consistently at the top of baseball for over a decade now: The Yankees and the Dodgers. For the Mets’ cross-town rival, Brian Cashman just finished his 26th year as the Yankees’ general manager and has only had three managers under his leadership: Joe Torre, Joe Girardi, and Aaron Boone. The stability and consistency atop the Yankees organization is a major factor as to why the team has reached the playoffs 22 times in Boone’s 26 years.
