The Mets made a round of spring training roster cuts today, sending the following players to minor league camp: Travis Blankenhorn, Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, Khalil Lee, Nick Plummer, Patrick Mazeika, and Jose Butto. That leaves 51 players in major league camp, as Deesha Thosar noted.
While at least a couple of those players figured to have a shot at making the team’s bench for Opening Day, the cuts aren’t shocking. The fact that Plummer and Lee were cut seems to indicate that, as of now, the newly-added Travis Jankowski has a decent shot at making the team’s roster, barring the acquisition of any other new outfielders.
