Jeff McNeil should be prepared to wear the “super-sub” label for the Mets heading into spring training.
Asked Tuesday about the possibility of McNeil — last season’s rookie sensation for the Mets — platooning at third base, manager Mickey Callaway indicated the job belongs to Todd Frazier. McNeil lost his starting job at second base last week with Robinson Cano’s arrival in a trade with the Mariners.
“As we stand here, Todd Frazier is going to be standing at third base and getting the opportunity to continue to earn that position,” Callaway said.
