Brett Baty has been taking ground balls at shortstop, per Carlos Mendoza, who didn’t rule out trying Baty there during exhibition games later in camp. “He’s got the arm. It comes down to, can he get to the ball? Range and all that,” Mendoza said. For now, focus with Baty is second and third base.

Tyrone Taylor found a mystery loaf of bread in his locker today. It looked delicious, but he had no idea where it came from. Turns out, Ryne Stanek's wife, Jessica, likes to bake, so Ryne gives out bread to guys. Pete Alonso got one. They embraced. "I love you," Alonso said.

Highlight from the Mets’ workout: In live BP, Jose Siri pulled — cracked, loudly — a pitch from Sean Manaea. Big yell, bat flip. Ball bounced off the leftfield wall. Oops. The other players ragged on him for it.

Christian Scott, in the dog days of Tommy John surgery rehab, looks lowkey jacked. He said he put on 10 pounds of muscle over the offseason and is up to 218 pounds now (and wants to get to 220) He would lose 5-6 pounds during a start last year, so extra strength is key.
