Mets do not make any 40-man additions ahead of Rule 5 draft

The Mets have had a fairly active offseason already, signing three pitchers and a veteran infielder and trading for Rays centerfielder Jose Siri earlier today. However, David Stearns and the rest of the front office chose not to make any additional 40-man additions ahead of the Rule 5 draft, leaving several notable Mets exposed.

Mike Vasil and Dominic Hamel are the headliners; both are former top-10 prospects in the system who got shellacked last year at Triple-A in what was a very juiced run environment. Neither was in line to make the offseason top-10 this time around, but both are going to look like attractive Rule 5 candidates.
