The New York Mets are faced with significant roster decisions as Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez are set to return from injury, possibly joining the team for an upcoming series. Their return raises questions about roster spots for players like Luisangel Acuña and Brett Baty, both of whom have performed well in McNeil's absence. Acuña has established himself as a reliable second baseman, while Baty is showing improvement after a sluggish start. Mets brass, led by David Stearns, acknowledges the challenge of managing these players as the team regains its strength.
"I think difficult decisions are a good thing when we have players that we want to keep here... as we get healthier, these decisions are going to become more and more a part of our thought process."
"Especially over the last week, 10 days, both these guys have played well... [Acuña] has done really exactly what we expect. He's played really solid defense at second base."
