Fans of the Mets should look at the following websites:
- Baseball-Reference List of 2025 Mets - this includes 42 pitchers and 20 position players
- List of Player Transactions by the Mets in 2025 from ESPN
The latest roster move was when Austin Warren was sent down to Syracuse after just one game, while Dom Hamel was recalled. Warren pitched 4 scoreless innings in yesterday's game, which at least kept the Mets in the game. He is then rewarded by being demoted. This has happened several times when a relief pitcher is demoted so a fresh arm can be brought up. In essence, Stearns is using this ploy to expand the roster. Going back to yesterday's game, Ryne Stanek was brought in to pitch the 9th inning and allowed 5 runs while only getting 2 men out. A position player had to finish the game. Stanek has an ERA over 5 for the season and should be the one dumped.
Stearns gave Frankie Montas a two-year contract worth $34 million. He missed half the first season for an injury and has an ERA of 6.68 in his 7 starts.
If the Mets don't make the playoffs or are eliminated very early, I think Uncle Steve should designate David Stearns for assignment.
