As we woke up on this Monday morning before Opening Day, the Mets had three big roster questions that still needed an answer. They’ve answered two of them before you can finish your morning coffee.
Darin Ruf is finally getting designated for assignment. That means outfielder Tim Locastro will take the final spot on New York’s bench. While we don’t know how the Mets’ bullpen shakes out yet, we now know who will make up the Opening Day rotation. Jon Heyman of the New York Post is reporting that left-hander David Peterson has officially beaten out Tylor Megill.
