MLB and the Players’ Association are negotiating several aspects of the season. There is no set date for baseball to start, but we do know that it won’t be until June or July, which would result in a shortened schedule that will affect teams and players, including several members of the New York Mets.
It appears that players will be recognized a year of service time despite the shortened season and no matter how many games the schedule has. It would mean that, if there is no baseball played this year, those Mets’ slated to be free agents this fall/winter will hit the open market having already played their last game in uniform.
