This morning at Tradition Field, Sandy Alderson spoke with reporters and said the following:
- Sandy has not had any significant trade talks recently.
- If the trade market picks up, it will likely be towards the end of Spring Training.
- Terry Collins will ultimately decide who starts both the season and the home opener as well as the opening rotation in general.
- The fact Matt Harvey did not pitch in 2014 will and should factor into who starts the season and home opener.
- Regarding Wilmer Flores, they’re past the evaluation process, and he is a, “central player” on the 25-man roster.
- Mets players were very receptive to the idea of having Billy Bean, MLB’s ambassador for inclusion, in uniform during Spring Training.
- Alderson asked Bean if he would consider playing in a Grapefruit League game. Bean declined the invitation.
