How do you think David Stearns' day is going?

I'm sure he's happy for Arnold and the rest of the front office, but damn, this has to sting at least a little bit.

I doubt it. Unlike managers, GMs are measured by what they've left behind more than what they directly accomplished. So this is still his legacy accumulating value.

Yea my guess is he's happy and proud.   While also have a little regret of leaving, like anyone would

Oh sure, he built a lot of what the Brewers are succeeding with right now, but leaving to go to the Mets - who sucked HARD this season - has to be frustrating.
