David Stearns saw no easy way out of Mets-Braves series debacle

MILWAUKEE — David Stearns isn’t pointing any fingers for the logistical fiasco the Mets could be facing over the next few days. 

In his first public comments since the final two games of the Mets-Braves series were postponed by Hurricane Helene, the Mets president of baseball operations on Friday said he is unsure there was any other viable option than for MLB to reschedule the games for Monday. 

If the games have any bearing on the NL wild-card race, a doubleheader will be played in Atlanta.

If the games would just determine seeding, it’s up to commissioner Rob Manfred if they would be played.

The NL wild-card series is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
