This past Sunday, the New York Yankees celebrated their annual Old-Timer’s Day where players from the past return to the field for an exhibition game. Over in Arizona, the New York Mets had their own Old-Timer’s Day. Unfortunately, this game counted.
The Mets aren’t so much an older team as much as they are one that doesn’t have too many young stars. Even several of their greener players like Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo have already turned 25.
The problem for the Mets right now isn’t the fact that they are filled with elderly players nearing retirement.
