David Stearns on speculation, advisory role

As speculation swirls about his future, David Stearns says he’s not a candidate for any openings with other clubs.

“I’m just going to reiterate what I said previously: I’m not going anywhere,” Stearns told MLB.com on Friday. “I’m committed to advising Mark [Attanasio, Milwaukee’s principal owner] and [general manager Matt Arnold] in any way I can. And that’s that.”

“I understand people want to know what comes next, and the truth is I don’t know,” Stearns said after announcing the decision to step down. “I think a segment of my generation—and I will certainly put myself in this group—is inflicted with a condition where we feel like every single thing must be planned out. Decision A must lead to Decision B which must lead to Decision C. In this case, I’m making Decision A because I think it’s the right thing to do. I don’t know what Decisions B and C will be, but I know that Decision A is the right thing to do for me. I’m very much looking forward to doing what I can for Matt, and I’m going to enjoy that. I’m also going to enjoy having some time away.”
