- Following a heartbreaking loss to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night, the New York Mets are currently 1.5 games out of the National League Wild Card. The Atlanta Braves, their adversary, are in front of them. Pat Ragazzo revealed earlier today that the Braves’ hero, who was crucial to their 2021 World Series success, would be signed by the Mets.
Eddie Rosario is being traded by New York to the Syracuse Mets on a minor league contract. The 32-year-old might contribute to the Mets off the bench under David Stearns. Rosario played in 142 games the previous season and finished with a.255 BA and.755 OPS. He has played in 91 games this season, but his.175 BA is not very good.

For the Mets, bringing in the seasoned outfielder wasn’t a bad idea. With one swing off the bench, he could alter the course of the game and add depth to the outfield. With Atlanta in 2023, Rosario hit 21 home runs and racked up 74 RBIs.
Eddie Rosario, coming off the bench, may be useful for the Mets.
New York made a low-risk decision that might well end up paying off. He can not only have an impact on games as a substitute, but he can even start games to give players days off. Rosario also has postseason experience on top of all that. The 32-year-old has played in 30 postseason games and has a.296 BA,.865 OPS, and 5 HRs.Rosario may spend some time in the Big Apple, but he will begin the season with the Syracuse Mets in AAA. The Mets have only scored five runs during their current four-game losing streak.
At this stage of the season, New York cannot afford to lose to Oakland. In the standings, the Braves now have a larger lead than they did the day before. Perhaps the Mets can use the former hero of their competitor to their advantage and move up the standings. Stearns is searching for Rosario to be the spark that could give the people of New York life, and any spark would do just that.
