\n When spring training starts again Friday at Citi Field, Mets general<\/a> manager Brodie Van Wagenen expects all of the team\u2019s players will be there.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, we\u2019ve heard all our players are making travel<\/a> arrangements and hope to make it here this week,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said Monday. \u201cWe anticipate everyone reporting to camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not every team can say the same, including the Mets\u2019 NL East rivals, the defending-champion Nationals, who have already had a pair of players \u2014 Ryan Zimmerman and Joe Ross \u2014 decide to stay home for the year due to COVID-19 concerns.<\/p>\n

Van Wagenen added he\u2019s not yet sure whether the entire coaching staff will be with the team, but that he would have a better idea this week.<\/p>\n

The GM called the Mets \u201cvery fortunate\u201d to have only had one player on the 40-man roster test positive and the unidentified player is recovering, according to Van Wagenen, who added he\u2019s \u201coptimistic\u201d the player will be able to participate at the start of camp.<\/p>\n

And after a shutdown that\u2019s lasted more than three months, Van Wagenen remains bullish on his team.<\/p>\n

The GM said Monday the Mets are \u201cbuilt to win\u201d as they prepare for an abbreviated 60-game<\/a> season \u2014 if the pandemic permits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact we\u2019re coming in with the same group we left with, but with some additional pieces, we feel we have a group that can contend,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said on a Zoom call. \u201cWhen I look back at where we were at the end of the season last year, I think we had the best record in the National League over the last 60 games. So if we can pick up where we left off and go through a 60-game sprint, I think we\u2019ll be in a position we\u2019ll be happ<\/a>y with.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the team begins its workouts on Friday, all eyes will be on Yoenis Cespedes. The slugger last appeared in a game nearly two years ago and has since undergone separate surgeries to remove calcifications from both heels in 2018 and then suffered right ankle fractures during an encounter with a wild boar on his ranch in May 2019.<\/p>\n

In March, Cespedes was taking live batting practice, and a source told The Post\u2019s Mike Puma there is \u201ca strong chance\u201d he could be ready for Opening Day next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have to evaluate how the next few days go, but we\u2019re optimistic,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said of the possibility of Cespedes being active when the season starts. And he doesn\u2019t want to limit Cespedes to the DH role and would rather rotate players at the position to keep them fresh.<\/p>\n

Cespedes\u2019 health will be just one of the challenges the Mets have to deal with as they try to navigate playing through a pandemic.<\/p>\n

Van Wagenen said the organization had some minor leaguers test positive for COVID and players would be informed about how to stay safe both at the ballpark \u2014 and away from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be careful,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said. \u201cEducation is gonna be critical for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed to the leadership from the owners, front office, coaches and players about how to \u201cbest handle and best cope with the challenges we face and what we know is possible in the way of avoiding the virus and keep it from spreading when it inevitably does affect people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Wagenen said the organization \u201cwill continue to be strict\u201d about safety protocols, but won\u2019t \u201ccreate penalties or fines for when they leave the ballpark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe trust them,\u2019\u2019 Van Wagenen said. \u201cThey trust us. We trust each other. We feel like we\u2019ll get through this in the best way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then focus on the task at hand on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a track meet,\u2019\u2019 the GM said of the shortened season. \u201cThis is like an Olympic trials. You have the 100 meters the first 20 days, then the 200 meters the second 20 days and then the 400-meter sprint. We\u2019re motivated. We\u2019re talented. Players are coming in with the mindset that there\u2019s a sense of urgency that we\u2019re not gonna give away any games in the early going.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
