Matz isn't going to throw for 3 weeks but his MRI didn't show anything. Rotation will be Thor, DeGrom, Harvey, Wheeler and Gsellmen.
I would've rather had Wheeler in extended spring for tactical reasons and thought Lugo maybe deserved the job based on the nice work he did during the playoff run last year. Hopefully Wheeler is ready to go.
TJ Rivera was basically in shock. Josh Smoker said he might have to try not to cry when he hears his name announced at Citi Field.
Yes
Vlad Jr, man. So impressive. Just pulverized a ball to dead center for a double. Turned around 96 like it was nothing.
Niese is supposedly dealing with a knee issue.

or some FA vet want to sign up for a minor league contract as the 8th starter?

Niese already signed a minor league deal with the Yankees
Wheeler and Matz should piggyback each other for 9 innings.
Thats the way to go if they plan on a lengthy playoff run. The Mets have to budget their top starters innings and save some for October
And I don't think it's ever proven to help pitchers health and I doubt it helps with an innings limit.
Cespedes is next after he wins 2017 MVP and 2017 and 2018 world series MVP and puts up 6.0 WAR seasons 2017-2019.

There is no 60 day DL or suspended list until opening day. He won't be added until that time (taking Familia's spot)
Mets release Bryce Beeler (I thought he was a sleeper but couldn't get healthy) and Ty Williams

Who's spot Ty Kelly took? David Wright 60 day DL? Familia suspension?

Yeah apologies. I meant "taking" not took.
Slim pickings for backing up the ML rotation this season.

Clearly you are ignoring all the similarities
Both are lefty
Both were high draft picks
Both highly regarded prospects in the minors
Both traded for one of the best hitters in a generation
Both a failed starter - converted reliever
Both dominant closers
etc etc etc

compared Lugo to Andrew Miller... yeah Andrew Miller arguably the most dominant reliever in baseball...

Lol you nailed it.
His quote in case people think I made it up
"Frankly, I still think he's uniquely capable of being a valuable reliever, along the lines of what Andrew Miller is to the Indians"
