If all he cares about is money sure, the Mets future looks like an absolute mess.
Their farm system is nothing special especially on the pitching side and their MLB roster is super old and bloated with some not very good contracts. With the Braves in their division, I don't see the Mets competing for the division for the foreseeable future. Honestly I could see Stearns doing with the Mets what he did with the Brewers when he first got here and doing a quick retool/rebuild.
