New York Mets Spring Training is fast approaching and although there’s no major battle we should expect, there are a few roster spots and roles to question. One of the bigger battles we can expect is the role of the fifth starter.
Unless there’s a trade, we can pencil in Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, and Marcus Stroman for the 2020 rotation. I would also imagine Rick Porcello and his $10 million deal practically guarantees an Opening Day roster spot as a starter.
This leaves the Mets with a decision to make between longtime starter Steven Matz and newcomer Michael Wacha.
