Ahead of the Mets’ six-game homestand against the Tigers and Yankees, president of baseball operations David Stearns is speaking to the media. The biggest news over the past couple of days has been the team’s promotion of A.J. Ewing to the major league roster, as the 21-year-old is set to make his major league debut tonight. He’s batting eighth and playing center field.
If you’re able to tune in live as Stearns speaks, you can do so on SNY’s YouTube channel, but if you’re not, we’ll update this post
with the most pertinent things that he says. The Mets, of course, have the worst record in baseball right now at 15-25 despite having one of the highest payrolls in the sport. Since their 12-game losing streak, they’ve gone 8-9, and with just 3.48 runs scored per game, they have the second-worst offense in the sport thus far. Stearns will undoubtedly be asked about the team’s struggles.
