Port St. Lucy – Monday should be a uniform and happy opportunity at Mets Camp. On the first full squad training day, our beloved polar bears have returned to strengthen our majors' best lineup. However, spring training allows you to throw some curveballs, which was undesirable.
Frankie Montas, who joined the Mets for $34 million over two years (and, of course, the necessary opt-out), has been out for a long time along with what they call high-quality latitude stocks. This is at least intermediate bad news, as they suggest he's more than three months apart.
Naturally, the Mets people talked about the depth of the rotation, and there are certainly many pitchers in camp (38 at the final count). But let's face it. The rotation is easily ranked as the club's biggest question mark.
Of course, Star Padres right-handed Dylan will be a home run. So does Luis Castillo. However, any deal will require a star adjustment with at least two top prospects, both of which seem to be particularly so at this point.
