Mets 40 Man Roster: One For The Ages

The Mets recently made some changes to their 40 Man Roster as they get ready for the Winter Meetings and the Rule 5 Draft which will take place while there in Florida.

I decided to break down the roster into age groups to kind of give us an idea of how young or how old our current base of players are. I broke them down into three groups.

The list still includes Sean Green and John Maine who may or may not be on the 40 Man Roster after Thursday when the Mets must decide to either tender or non-tender them.
