It was an eventful weekend in Florida for the Mets. Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, and Kodai Senga pitched in succession for the first time. Mark Vientos slugged nearly 900 feet worth of homers, while Brett Baty continued to hit. Do you know who else has made a statement early on? Outfielder Tim Locastro.
Before eventually coming to terms with Tommy Pham, the Mets signed Locastro to a minor-league deal with an invite to MLB camp right after the New Year hit. Locastro has spent parts of six seasons in the big leagues, and most recently with the Yankees.
