Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is exactly halfway through his five-year, $50 million contract. Based on the first half’s results, it’s fair to say he’s yet to prove he was worth the king’s ransom owner Steve Cohen paid to bring him home to New York. After the Mets fired manager Carlos Mendoza Friday, amid a six-game losing streak and disastrous season, Stearns is still owed $25 million.
