Can you name the 28 Mets? How big are rosters 28? Who even knows who is on the Mets or how many Mets there are.
RHP Drew Smith has been optioned to the team’s Alternate Training Site.
RHP Hunter Strickland has been selected from the team’s Alternate Training Site.

Today, MLB has foolishly scheduled a 1pm game when people have to work.
It is also the trade dealing. Hopefully nobody gets foolish and mortgages the future so they can chase the 8 seed for a lottery ticket’s chance at winning the World Series at a neutral site in front of zero fans. Don’t do it.
Today, Jacob deGrom is slated to make his fourth straight start against the Marlins…It marks the first time that a major league pitcher has faced the same opponent in four consecutive starts since Freddie Fitzsimmons did so for the New York Giants against the Cincinnati Reds from July 30 – August 13, 1929… Fitzsimmons went 2-2 in that span with a 1.09 ERA (four earned runs/33.0 innings)… deGrom is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA (three earned runs/18.0 innings) in his previous three starts against the Marlins (August 9-26)…Courtesy of Elias.
