Starling Marte arrived at camp yesterday and discussed taking it slow after his off-season surgery.
Although the Mets said that he would be ready for the start of spring training, Starling Marte says that it's not really a surprise that he will ease into the spring and that they have been in contact all offseason. pic.twitter.com/aWHCQPwloJ

Pete Alonso had his first taste of Kodai Senga’s “ghost forkball” today in live batting practice. He struck out twice, giving Senga big props for the unique pitch.
