Mets' Slump: Expert Analysis & Turnaround Plan

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Mets are owning the worst storyline this baseball season with a brutal 12-game losing streak. They started 7-4, but now sit at 7-16, making their postseason odds look basically nonexistent. Experts like Jim Bowden from the Athletic are breaking down exactly what it would take to turn this disaster around. Bowden's first big point is clear. Manager Carlos Mendoza ain't the problem and shouldn't get the boot. Sure, the teams in a deep rut, but injuries and roster gaps are the real culprits behind this slow start, not his managing. Fans and analysts are pointing fingers everywhere, from last year's lay collapse to these ongoing slumps by stars like Francisco Lindor and Bow. Bishet. Meanwhile, Juan Soto just came off the injured list, and Jorge Palanco needs to get healthy too for the Mets to start putting runs on the board. To really fix things, Bowden says they got to make moves through trades or promotions to shore up the corner outfield, the back end of the rotation, and that shaky bull pin.

1:02Guys like Carson Venge and Tommy Fam aren't cutting it out there, and Devon Williams has been a let down in relief. If the core players heat up and the front office swing smart deals fast, the Mets could claw back into contention before it's too late. Keep an eye on this squad. They might just surprise us yet.
