Division rival Florida Marlins will meet the
Mets for three games while the Detroit Tigers
will be in town March 18. All games are at 1:10
p.m., except for the 6:10 p.m. game against
Houston on March 21.
After a busy off-season, the Mets have hired
38-year-old Luis Rojas as manager after eight
years coaching in the team’s minor league system.
He is the son of Felipe Alou, a player and
manager inducted into both the Canadian and
Caribbean baseball halls of fame. Rojas’ brother
is six-time All-Star Moise Alou.
There is plenty of returning talent and
anxious newcomers are listed on the roster to
cover all nine positions.
Pitcher Jacob deGrom will start the Mets
first regular season home game after winning
the Cy Young Award the past two years. Also
in the pitching rotation will be Noah Syndergaard,
Steven Matz and relievers Jeurys
Familia and Edwin Diaz.
First baseman Pete Alonso was National
League Rookie of the Year in 2019 after hitting
a league record 53 home runs in his first season.
Veteran catcher Wilson Ramos is expected
to start along with shortstop Amed Rosario and
second baseman Robinson Cano.
Mets fans are hoping outfielder Yeonis
Cespedes will be able to play in 2020 after last
season’s injury absence. The team will also rely
on J.D. Davis, Brandon Nimmo and Michael
Conforto, who last season hit 33 home runs
with 93 runs batted in.
Mets minor-leaguer Tim Tebow was a nonroster
invitee to spring training by the Mets
organization. E
There will be plenty of
errors in Spring Training
as players give it their
best to make the team’s
40-man roster.
Former National
Football League
quarterback
and Mets minor
leaguer Tim Tebow
was invited to
Spring Training by
the team.
