David Stearns just opened up the door for an exciting NY Mets spring training battle

The GM meetings aren’t nearly as exciting as the Winter Meetings in December. This week, the GMs and POBOs got together to talk amongst each other and maybe work out a few plans for the coming weeks. How much work actually gets done is up for debate. However, we did get to hear a little bit from David Stearns on what his plans for the New York Mets look like.

In typical Stearns fashion, he played his cards close to the vest. One thing did come out. Stearns confirmed the team’s center field plans for next year.

David Stearns said Carson Benge will be given an opportunity to make the Mets opening day roster as a potential centerfield option
