A Mets Outfielder Gets an Up-Close Look at Payroll Disparity

Before a recent game, Mets outfielder Mark Canha gleefully acknowledged the drink in his locker.

He didn’t elaborate on the tea in his paper cup, but it was clear that he appreciated its availability in the Mets’ clubhouse. The same went for the food.

“Every meal in here is unbelievably good,” Canha said. “Quality food, every single meal. It’s just been amazing. I feel blessed to be here, honestly. It’s been easy to play here.”

Canha, 33, found himself discussing the differences between life with the Oakland Athletics, his first team, and the Mets.
