DiComo reports on Senger

[Edgy MD]

The story should less be about the man overcoming the adversity, but rather about the billionaires who author that adversity.



But, yeah, go Hayden!

[whippoorwill]

That is a very nice story!

[bmfc1]

Best defensive catcher in the organization.

[Fman99]

I'd think that being the best defender of the three candidates to back up Torrens makes him a favorite over the other two guys. Like I know though

[Frayed Knot]

Plus we could get that highly anticipated Senga-Senger battery on the scorecard.

That alone is too good a situation to pass up.

Hayden Senger in today's starting lineup!!

[MFS62]

He has one of the two hits the Mets have today (the game's in the 9th inning).

And back-picked a runner off 1st

[MFS62]

He made it.

It was announced that Reetz got cut, so Senger made the team.

[whippoorwill]

Cool!

[ashie62]

Hayden just homered in celebration



Well done



Very happy he will reap a financial benefit also. MLB doesn't seem interested in paying a living wage to most minor leagues but that's a different conversation

[metirish]

Stearns makes it official, Senger will be on the opening day roster

[MFS62]

Now he'll be able to afford to shop in the grocery store where he worked.

Not yet, the ML minimum is only around $750,000
