This is starting to become a daily occurrence. The Mets made a roster move before tonight’s series opener. Maybe we finally know the identity of the above drawing, is it Tyler Bashlor?
Tyler Bashlor has been recalled from Binghamton and we've optioned Chris Flexen to Las Vegas. #Mets

In other news, I’m shocked that the Mets tweeted this out without some video clip or GIF of the promotion. Not even an embedded image. If only they could do this with the lineups….
