Mets Morning News: Noah Syndergaard might need a haircut, two weeks until Opening Day!

Meet the Mets

Noah Syndergaard pitched well and Juan Lagares stole home, but the Red Sox beat up on Mets relief pitching to hand New York a 9-4 defeat on Sunday afternoon in Port St . Lucie.

Even with Lagares in the starting lineup, it was Yoenis Cespedes who played center field yesterday. The Mets want to get him as comfortable as possible at the position where he'll spend a lot of time this season.

David Wright may have misplayed a ground ball during the game, but the important thing is that he's on track to start on Opening Day.
