Prior to their doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway revealed why Jeff McNeil is still in AAA. With a roster spot open due to Todd Frazier‘s latest DL stint, Callaway unveiled the organization views McNeil strictly as a second baseman.
To no one’s surprise, there was an outcry from the fans all over Twitter. Can you blame them? McNeil is a 26-year-old tearing apart minor league pitchers this season. If there was an excuse to promote him, Frazier’s injury is perfect.
Instead, the Mets again prove why they are in the basement of the MLB.
