The "Genius GM" Trap Is Killing the Mets 👀

The New York Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza. D.A. says they're blaming the wrong person. The bigger issue is president of baseball operations David Stearns. Here's the theory: Some of baseball's smartest executives become so attached to being the "genius" who finds market inefficiencies that they overthink jobs in big markets. Instead of using the Mets' financial advantages, they keep trying to win like they're running a small-market club. Nickel-and-dime moves. Value signings. Hidden bargains. Trying to outsmart everyone.
