About this episode
New York Mets fans face a pressing question: spring slump or looming trouble?
Sean Manaea’s velocity drop fuels concern, but can his deceptive delivery and pitch command offset radar gun anxiety?
Mark Vientos’s brutal 3-for-40 spring, combined with roster uncertainty, sparks debate—will he find his form?
Intriguing decisions await on both fronts as the Mets’ depth and resilience are tested.
Ryan Finkelstein unpacks Manaea’s role as a potential sixth starter, analyzes Vientos’s roster fate, and maps out battles for final bench and bullpen slots.
Roster cutdowns, minor league assignments for MJ Meléndez and Christian Scott, and lefty relief options like Bryan Hudson and Richard Lovelady shape the late spring landscape. Everydayer Club
