The New York Mets are mired in a difficult season, and one Major League Baseball insider thinks the team is getting desperate for change. Ken Rosenthal is giving his two cents on the Mets’ latest move. New York is bringing up outfielder A.J. Ewing from the minor leagues onto the team’s roster.

“I’d say it’s pretty darn near an act of desperation,” Rosenthal said, per Foul Territory.

Rosenthal added that the team may be putting too much pressure on the young outfielder. He is ranked as the team’s no. 2 prospect, according to ESPN.

“What are the Mets doing here? They are asking A.J. Ewing to inject them with some energy at a time when they are absolutely struggling,” he added. “It is a lot to ask. There’s no question it’s a lot to ask.”

The Mets are dealing with all sorts of injuries right now. Rosenthal said Ewing may not have the experience needed to pick up the slack for the team at this moment. The numbers add some validity to that statement.
