When the Mets introduce Carlos Mendoza as their next manager Tuesday, he’ll be flanked by president of baseball operations David Stearns and owner Steve Cohen, and, really, the way those three work in tandem will dictate the success of their new regime.

Cohen has the money, and with a $364 million payroll in 2023 and a trade deadline selloff, he demonstrated that any and every move will be considered to make the Mets competitive.

Stearns has the front office experience, the type that had him pegged as the right fit to take over the Mets long before it actually came to fruition in September.

Mendoza, though, remains the wild card.
