Cohen：不考虑开除 David Stearns

The first major domino in the Mets’ horrible season fell last week with the dis
missal of manager Carlos Mendoza, who was in the final year of his contract. And
y Green will manage the team on an interim basis for the remainder of the season
. He’ll return to the front office at year’s end, while the club will conduct
a search for a new skipper at the beginning of the offseason.
大都会本季惨澹战绩引发的第一张骨牌已倒下，球团开除了合约进入最后一年的总教练Carl
os Mendoza，Andy Green以代理总教练身分带队至本季结束，之后于年底返回球团管理阶层
，而球队则会在休赛季开始后展开新任总教练的遴选工作
President of baseball operations David Stearns will get the chance to lead that
hiring process. Owner Steve Cohen reiterated his faith in his baseball operation
s leader this week, telling Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman of The New York Post tha
t he hasn’t considered a change at the top of the front office.
棒球事务总裁David Stearns将有机会主导这次总教练的遴选工作，球队老板 Steve Cohen
再次重申对这位棒球事务主管的信任，他向《纽约邮报》的Joel Sherman与Jon Heyman表示
，自己从未考虑更换球团管理高层
“It’s a five-year contract and we’re going to live that contract out,” Cohen
said on Sherman’s and Heyman’s The Show podcast. The owner praised Stearns’
communication skills and aptitude before elaborating on his thought process:
“这是一份五年合约，我们会履行完整份合约”Cohen 在Sherman与Heyman 主持的《The Sh
ow》Podcast 中表示，他先称赞了Stearns的沟通能力与专业才干，接着进一步说明自己的
想法
“We’re two and a half years into a contract. Everyone forgets, does he get any
credit for ’24? Does that not count? We almost made it to the World Series. Th
at was just two years ago,” Cohen said. “It’s a mixed record. I’m not going
to say it’s going great, but it’s too early to really make evaluations. I feel
really strongly that if we’re going to burn and churn, that’s a terrible plac
e to be. Every time you burn and churn, the next time nobody wants to come. Is s
omeone going to put their career in your hands if you’re going to be short-term
oriented?”
Cohen表示：“我们这份合约才走了两年半，大家都忘了吗？他在2024年的表现难道没有功
劳？那不算数吗？我们当时差点就打进世界大赛，那也不过是两年前的事”
“整体来看成绩算是有好有坏，我不会说目前一切都很顺利，但现在就下定论还太早，我非
常坚信如果球团一直采取频繁换人的做法，那会是一个非常糟糕的状态，每次你这样换人，
下一次就没有人想来了，如果你总是只看短期成绩，又有谁愿意把自己的职业生涯交到你手
上？”
In response to a follow-up question about whether Stearns was unquestionably loc
ked in through the end of his deal in 2028, Cohen replied that “there’s no gua
rantees in anything” and he’d “evaluate as it goes along.” He implied it was
unlikely the team would make any change before the final year of the deal, howe
ver. “The change that’s not going to be made is moving David out at this point
, I’m just not going to do it. Now if we get to year five and our performance c
ontinues to suffer, at that point everything’s fair game.”
当被追问Stearns是否一定会待到2028年合约结束时，Cohen 回答：“没有任何事情是有保
证的”并表示自己会“一路观察、一路评估”
不过他也暗示球队在合约最后一年之前，几乎不可能做出人事异动
“至少现阶段，不会发生的改变就是把David撤换，我不会这么做，如果到了第五年，我们
的表现还是持续低迷，那么到了那个时候，一切都可以重新讨论”
The Mets and Stearns signed the aforementioned five-year contract at the end of
the 2023 season. It was an open secret for years that Cohen had his sights set o
n Stearns, who’d led the Brewers to four playoff appearances in seven seasons f
rom 2016-22. He stepped down from the top of baseball operations in Milwaukee at
the end of ’22 but was under contract for another season, so he worked in an a
dvisory role for his longtime chief lieutenant Matt Arnold.
大都会与David Stearns是在2023年球季结束后签下五年合约，多年来Cohen 一直希望延揽S
tearns，早已是业界公开的祕密，Stearns曾在2016年至2022年的七个球季中，率领酿酒人
四度闯进季后赛，他于2022年球季结束后卸下密尔瓦基棒球事务最高负责人的职务，但因合
约仍剩一年，因此改以顾问身分协助自己长期的副手Matt Arnold
