[Centerfield]

We hardly knew you:



Players come and gone in 2024:



Ty Adcock

Paul Blackburn

Matt Festa

Grant Hartwig

Tyler Jay

Joey Lucchesi

Dedniel Nunez

Eric Orze

Sean Reid-Foley

Christian Scott

Kodai Senga

Cole Sulser

Julio Teheran

Josh Walker

Joe Hudson

Tomas Nido

Pablo Reyes

Ben Gamel



18 Additional players. It's hard to believe that Julio Teheran started a game for the 2024 Mets. Joe Hudson looks like he's a back up catcher. No memory of him whatsoever.

[Cowtipper]

Hudson was an extra guy they had for London, I believe.

[MFS62]

The one small decision on backup infielders, adding Iglesias to the roster out of spring training instead of Short and/or Wendle, could have made a big difference.

[MFS62]

IIRC that team started the season losing three to Milwaukee.

Let's turn that around.

Hopefully those removed relievers have found good jobs in another field, and I don't mean another baseball field
