Mets owner Steven Cohen announced on Tuesday that he would hold a press conference ahead of New York's game Wednesday night versus the Milwaukee Brewers. If comments made by general manager Billy Eppler are any indication, it does not appear that Cohen will be making personnel changes.
Instead, Eppler expressed confidence in the abilities of manager Buck Showalter and the Mets roster to turn the ship around before it's too late.
"Buck's had a good amount of adversity heaped his way. I think Buck's handled that adversity and he's the guy to get us back on track," Eppler said of his skipper. When he was asked if he felt if the Mets still had a playoff-caliber roster given their continued struggles this season, he added: "I believe in the talent of this team. I believe they can play at that win percentage."
