Baty Becomes Mets' Swiss Army Knife as Lindor Works Toward Opening Day
The Mets push Brett Baty into a versatile super-utility role (third, second, first and outfield) after Bo Bichette’s signing; Francisco Lindor is progressing from a hamate fracture and hopes to be ready for Opening Day; Christian Scott, 17 months from Tommy John, flashed velocity in a spring outing but has no rotation spot and remains depth; A.J. Minter is nearing a return from lat surgery with a target around late April/May; Robert Stock is sidelined with shoulder discomfort post-WBC and will undergo an MRI.
