Former Mets GM and MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM host Steve Phillips talks Amed Rosario’s potential, Terry Collins’ future and Brian Cashman’s next move with The Post’s Justin Terranova.

Q: What is Sandy Alderson feeling right now, dealing with all these injuries?

A: It’s a really helpless feeling. It’s not something that you can get extra batting practice or a bullpen session to try and fix, you need to wait and be patient and hope you have enough depth as an organization to overcome it or at least keep your head above water until your star players come back. It certainly is frustrating.

Q: Is calling up Amed Rosario the answer?

A: He’s a very talented young guy and has the chance to be a big leaguer for a long time and a quality player. I’ve never believed that rookies should be considered or called up to be the savior for a season. I think they should only be called up when they are ready to succeed and you minimize expectations, as opposed to maximizing them. Calling him up right now puts so much pressure on him and is so unfair to ask him to be that.

Q: What’s your level of concern over Matt Harvey not showing up last week?

A: No normal, healthy, rational-thinking professional athlete thinks to himself: “Let me stay out till 4 in the morning, let me go play golf and then I won’t show up to the field the day before it was my day to pitch.” The consequences seem rather obvious and he did it anyway. It makes me worry that there might be something more significant at hand. I would want to know the answer to that. It might be a bad decision in a bad moment and there might be other factors coming into it that led to it, but I would want to know it’s not a bigger issue. His emotional and mental health are as critical as his physical health to be the quality of pitcher that he’s capable of being.

Q: How much blame does Terry Collins deserve for Mets struggles?

A: Every time his teams have faced adversity, he’s challenged them in a positive way. He’ll call guys out when they need to be called out. His teams play hard and he holds them accountable when they have a game with mental errors. Honestly, I think Terry Collins is the exact kind of guy you want managing the team through this adversity.

Q: How active do you expect the Yankees to be as the trade deadline approaches?

A: I fully expect as the season progresses — and unless something dramatic happens — Brian Cashman will make a move. It won’t be to sacrifice the Gleyber Torres of the world or their other elite prospects. They have players who even if they may be a little lukewarm on, other teams may really covet, and I think when the time comes the Yankees will be in position to make a deal for an impact pitcher.
