Marcus Stroman will change his jersey number ahead of what’s supposed to be his first full season as a New York Met. Stroman, via his Twitter account, announced on Friday evening that he would be changing his number to zero. His previous number was seven.
This comes after Stroman announced in October that he would be ditching No. 7. The move comes in respect to former Mets shortstop José Reyes, who had seven as his jersey number. Reyes had two stints with New York, one from 2003-11 and another from 2016-18.
Stroman is the fourth Met to ever wear zero as his number.
