Ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Pirates, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza spoke about a number of players and topics…
Plan, expectation for Blade Tidwell
With Griffin Canning out for the season, Mendoza indicated that Blade Tidwell will be considered for a starting role, though they are taking it “one start at a time.” Meanwhile, Jared Young was optioned to Syracuse to make room for Mark Vientos, while Jeff McNeil may see increased time in center field to allow younger infielders more at-bats.
