St. Lucie Mets General Manager Traer Van Allen joined us via Zoom to fill us in on the plans for Spring Training and the Minor League season. They have been working with different scenarios, all dependent on the decisions made by MLB. So far, there won't be open workouts and the players will train in shifts. The Minor Leaguers will most likely be brought in after Major League camp breaks, so the season may not start until mid-May. The goal will be to play as many games as possible. Traer answered as many of our questions as he could.
