Cuts are coming [Updated with roster]

This will be updated as information comes out on which players didn’t make the team.

Not necessarily staying with the Mets

  • Nelson Figueroa

Staying with the Mets (under contract / with options)

  • Chris Carter
  • Kiko Calero
  • Bobby Parnell
  • Elmer Dessens
  • Russ Adams

…have all been cut and will not make the Mets 25-man Opening Day roster.

By powers of deduction, I believe this means Fernando Nieve sticks in the bullpen and Frank Catalanotto finishes out the bench.  Right?

Also probably making the team, at least as of now: Ruben Tejada, Jenrry Mejia, Sean Green.

So the Mets bullpen likely looks like: Francisco Rodriguez, Pedro Feliciano, Hisanori Takahashi, Ryota Igarashi, Mejia, Green and Nieve.  Though we can’t rule out Raul Valdes.

And the Mets bench: Ruben Tejada, Gary Matthews Jr., Frank Catalanotto, Fernando Tatis, Henry Blanco.
