The Mets have optioned Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse, will put Zack Short on their Opening Day roster, and won’t include Jiman Choi on that roster.
With that, the team’s roster continues to take shape, as the team also designated Phil Bickford for assignment yesterday and decided that Shintaro Fujinami, Tomás Nido, José Iglesias, and Luke Voit weren’t making the roster. There are still decisions to be made regarding the final spots in the team’s bullpen.
As for Vientos, he seemed destined to start the year in Triple-A as soon as the Mets signed J.
