The Mets distributed their spring rosters this week. I’ve arranged this year’s clip-and-save version a little differently, calling out nonroster guys italics and coaches in blue. Non-40-man-roster guys are just occupying the jersey vs. belonging to one.
As it stands now that makes: 4, 5, 7, 8, 16, 18, 48, 58, 61, 64, 67, 68, 69, 75, 88, 89 and 99 free. With the way Steve’s been retiring numbers my ears perk up at 16 and 18.

Also, Mets have reportedly revoked their MLB camp invitation to Khalil Lee. He’ll report to minor league camp with the rest of the masses.
thanks Jim
Trevor May was 65, not 68
Looks like coach Dom Chiti will wear 58.
Wouldn’t they be as likely to retire 5 as 16 or 18?
I think the next number to be retired is 8.
I disagree. Carter arrived two years after Hernandez, and his only good years were 1985 and 1986. His longevity, statistics, and impact as a catcher pale in comparison to Piazza.
I’m with Stu on Gary Carter retiring. The Mets should name their Spring Training Complex after Carter, that would be a nice way to honor him.
