Good morning, Mets fans!
The MLB uniform fiasco is going to be addressed, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported Sunday after obtaining a memo to the MLBPA. Most notably, the uniforms will have larger lettering on the back of jerseys, and modifying issues the players brought up about their pants. The modifications will come no later than the beginning of the 2025 season.
