NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Baseball is back in the Big Apple. The Mets are holding their first summer workouts at Citi Field on Friday, with the abbreviated 2020 season anticipated to start on July 23.
Spring Training was canceled in mid-March and Opening Day has been postponed since March 26 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported pitcher Jacob deGrom warmed up with a long toss on the field while some of his teammates were already mashing in the batting cage.
The team held a two hour workout that started at 8:30 a.
