Not only is Álvarez defensive and offensive production better than people thought it would be. But, he brings an energy and excitement to the team that's contagious. The team feeds off it. They need it.Yes he has an "option" but sending him down would be a mistake @StevenACohen2

This is a non story. Sending Alvarez down would make 0 sense. The kid brings energy, power and is much better defensively than we were told. #letthekidsplay

Most of the voices go against the idea. It would be interesting how the Mets handle this issue, which has become complicated with the signing of Gary Sanchez. Will any other player make way for the returnees? Only time will tell.
