Episode Notes
Francisco Lindor’s hamate surgery puts the Mets on the clock, with Opening Day looming and no guarantees he will be ready in time. As the team insists patience is the priority, Carlos Mendoza finally names the emergency shortstop options if Lindor needs extra time. That opens the door to a bigger debate. Should the Mets turn back to a familiar face and bring back Jose Iglesias on a short term deal? We break down the internal options, the long term plan for Ronny Mauricio, and why a simple stopgap move might make the most sense if Lindor misses the first week or two.
