Seth Lugo has never made his desire to return to the Mets’ starting rotation a secret. Back in March, when spring training was still underway and we were previewing a normal baseball season, I wrote that Lugo had made himself too indispensable out of the bullpen to believe there was much of a chance of seeing him start any games for the Mets in 2020.
A lot has changed since then.
Namely, players had to put their preparations for the season on hold as spring training was suspended and the start of the season was delayed until late July.
