Two days from the start of Spring Training games in Jupiter, the position player side of the 25-man roster seems all but set.
2019 is different than years past, where competition for starting jobs was the storyline in late February and March. The buzzword of this season has been “committed.”
Lineup spots may shift, but everything else seems static, barring injury. The bench may have a bit more room for flexibility, but even that is minimal. Francisco Peña, José Martínez and Jedd Gyorko are virtual locks for Opening Day. It comes down to one roster spot.
