Mike Silva discusses how a small-market World Series makes the case that David Stearns has what it takes to bring the Mets to the next level. The complication? Baseball’s changing economics could force him to operate much as he did in Milwaukee—even with Steve Cohen’s deep pockets.

Mike explains why those constraints could reveal that Stearns is exactly the right executive to navigate baseball’s next era. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
