ESPN: Mets may be Fined for Roster
According to Jayson Stark at ESPN.com, MLB may look to fine or reprimand the Mets, who yesterday did not exactly comply with the league’s request that each team bring four regulars to an away game.
In his report, Stark writes:
“Just the day before, MLB’s executive vice president for baseball operations, Jimmie Lee Solomon, sent a memo to all 30 teams reminding them they need to bring a “representative team” to all spring road games. And the definition of “representative” was a “minimum” of four players who were regulars the previous year or had a “reasonable chance” of being regulars this season.”
In yesterday’s game in Lakeland against the Tigers, only Ryan Church will likely crack the team’s opening day roster, while Marlon Anderson, Ramon Castro, Ruben Gotay and Mike Pelfrey do not necessarily qualify as ‘regulars.’
