Over the past week or so, we’ve seen plenty of Mets players already down in Port St. Lucie getting ready for the upcoming season. But now that February 15th is here, taking another step forward as an organization officially starts.

The Mets are the definition of a “win-now” team. They’re fresh off a 101-win campaign that ended with a premature postseason exit. New York also had a ton of impact players hit free agency this past offseason. It would’ve been easy to leave some areas of the roster up for debate heading into spring training.
