So much for the intrigue about who the 26th man on the field will be for each MLB team in 2020. Because it’s looking more and more like rosters will include more than 26 players, teams like the New York Mets are going to benefit from some sharp depth all around the diamond.
As they marched toward what we thought was going to be an average year with 162 games and 26 men on the roster, the Mets were already well-equipped to handle the rigors of a typical season.
With the growing possibility of the league allowing more players on the major league roster, the Mets’ luxury could become an advantage.
