Mets Stearns: Time Remains to Contend This Season

Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns believes there is still time for the team to contend this season. He identified the Aug.

3 trade deadline as the definitive cutoff point for the organization's decision. The team must decide by then whether to push for the playoffs or shift focus to the 2027 campaign.

Stearns remains optimistic about their current standing.
