David Stearns isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

In his first comments since the Mets fired Carlos Mendoza on Friday, frustrated owner Steve Cohen told The Post\u2019s Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman on \u201cThe Show\u201d podcast that Stearns is going to \u201clive out\u201d the remainder of his five-year contract as president of baseball operations.<\/p>\n

Stearns is in the middle of his third season, and the team is 208-202 in his tenure and headed toward a second straight postseason miss.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid is reflective and adaptable,\u201d an exasperated Cohen said on the podcast, which will be fully released later Wednesday. \u201cWe\u2019ll figure out what changes need to be made, but it won\u2019t be David.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mendoza was canned after the Mets were swept by the Cubs at home in a four-game series last week, dropping their record to 34-47.<\/p>\n

Andy Green took over as interim manager.<\/p>\n

But many fans have been pointing the finger at Stearns after a series of offseason moves to reshape the roster backfired.<\/p>\n

Two-time All-Star Bo Bichette, whom the Mets signed to a three-year, $126 million contract with opt-outs to slide from shortstop to third base, is hitting just .251 with a .678 OPS, 10 home runs and 46 RBIs.<\/p>\n

Freddy Peralta, acquired from the Brewers for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat ahead of his walk year, has a 4.53 ERA in 17 starts.<\/p>\n

Devin Williams, signed to a three-year, $51 million contract after a disappointing 2025 with the Yankees, has a 4.13 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 12 saves.<\/p>\n

Jorge Polanco, who got a two-year, $40 million contract after a relatively healthy 2025 that followed several injury-plagued seasons, has been limited to just 14 games this season due to injuries. He\u2019s working back from Achilles sorness that still hasn\u2019t gone away.<\/p>\n

Luis Robert, another injury-prone player, has played just 24 games and has hit .224 with two homers.<\/p>\n
