For the New York Mets and the MLB in general, the past few weeks have been slow. Most of the players are training at home with the hope there is a season to play. The league, the union and health authorities are still deciding if it is worth playing this year amid the coronavirus pandemic. The earliest date, at this point, that the regular season can start would be early July, with a couple of spring training weeks in June.
However, that may be, according to Mets’ reliever Jeurys Familia, pushing things a little bit. The righty, who has been working out with the newly signed Dellin Betances under the close look of Dave Paladino in New Jersey, thinks that he and the former Yankees’ pitcher will be fine, but he is worried about other players.
