Down Goes Alvarez! Mets Make Bold Move!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

BT and Sal engage in a heated discussion about the New York Mets' decision to send catcher Francisco Alvarez down to Triple-A. While acknowledging Alvarez's recent home run, they both agree that the demotion, though tough for the young player, was ultimately the right call due to his inconsistent performance both offensively and defensively. They emphasize the need for him to regain confidence and refine his game in a less pressurized environment, drawing parallels to other young prospects and the importance of a team's veteran core. The conversation highlights the Mets' high expectations and the need for immediate production, contrasting it with relying on unproven talent from the minor leagues.
