In 2020, the New York Mets and the rest of Major League Baseball will have an extra man on their everyday roster. This gives teams an opportunity to carry either an extra bench piece or reliever.
Even when we take this into account, there doesn’t appear to be much room for the Mets to make any other significant moves before Opening Day.
The Mets will have a starting eight plus five bench pieces with brings us to 13. The starting rotation adds another five men, totaling up to a roster of 18. This leaves them with only eight more spots.
