Part 1: Decisions, Decisions
from Talkin' Mets Hosted by Talkin Mets with Mike Silva
With the final week of spring training here, the Mets are facing some tough roster decisions. One of the more interesting moves came when Ryan Lambert was optioned to minor league camp despite a dominant spring showing. Mike Silva breaks down what that decision says about the organization’s roster philosophy—and why it could offer a preview of how the Mets handle top prospect Carson Benge on the position-player side. Mike explains why starting the season in Triple-A might ultimately be the best path for Benge’s long-term development. Plus, the Mets announced that Carlos Beltrán will have his number retired this summer. Does he deserve the honor? Mike makes the case that Beltrán may actually be the most underrated superstar in franchise history.
