With the New York Mets today, March 18th, the New York Mets are down to their final roster decision as opening day approaches. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Huascar Brzoven has secured a bull pin spot as long as he stays healthy through the end of spring training. That leaves just one opening in the relief corps. Veteran reliever Craig Kimbrill remains in the running after signing a minor lead deal. The 37-year-old has shown some rust in his five spring outings, including walks, hit batters, and a dip in fastball velocity. Kimbrill allowed a run in Tuesday's game against Miami, highlighted by a lead-off walk and a stolen base that led to trouble. Still, he's posted just two earned runs over all this spring. The former closer stays upbeat about his progress. He says his body feels strong, and most pitches are working well. Even if his speed isn't quite there yet, Kimbrill has one final chance Thursday night to impress. He believes he can still contribute, but the choice is up to the Mets on who best fits

the team. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode. Relax deeper, reset faster, comfort you can hear, S-O-L-I-S-O-L-E-P-L-O-D-A-I.
