Mets Finalize Opening Day Roster

It's March 25, I'm Cory with the story, and this is New York Mets News today, your AI-powered

team report.

The New York Mets finalized their opening day roster just before their season opener on

Thursday at City Field against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Outfielder Jared Young secured the final bench spot while left-handed pitcher Richard

Love Lady earned the last bullpen position.

The players who fell short, infielder Vidal Bruhahn, lefty Brian Hudson, and catcher

Ben Rortbede were all designated for assignment on Wednesday.

Young provides a left-handed bat off the bench and can cover first base plus corner outfield

spots.

That decision means bowl-b-shet steps in as the backup shortstop.

Love Lady joins a bullpen needing lefty depth, especially with AJ Mentor sidelined on rehab.

With these moves locked in, the Mets head into their home opener ready to roll against

the Pirates.
