To Seth Lugo, the notion the Mets have six starting pitchers for five rotation spots is incorrect. Lugo says it’s actually at least seven starters for five spots.
The right-handed reliever admits he was “disappointed” following the recent additions of Rick Porcello and Michael Wacha, after believing a rotation spot would potentially be his to lose in spring training, but he told The Post on Thursday he’s still approaching the situation as if he’s a starter.
“I am going to come in and show them that I somehow prepared over the offseason for what my goals for spring were and hopefully I can stretch out a little bit, but I understand what is going on,” Lugo said.
