If an 85 percent threshold is reached within a team, safety protocols will be loosened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t really thought about it,\u201d Davis said, when asked if he plans to be vaccinated. \u201cI have been so focused on baseball and getting ready for the season. I have been concentrating on getting at-bats and getting my swing right, getting ready for defense. It\u2019s a personal preference for me. It really hasn\u2019t crossed my mind. This topic has come up over the last couple of days. With us moving from Florida to D.C. the last couple of days, I just really haven\u2019t sat down and really thought about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis said the survey and vaccine have not been a topic of discussion among the Mets players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVaccinations, I am trying to be sensitive to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> public and to the family and friends out there,\u201d Davis said. \u201cBut at the same time I think it\u2019s been a topic that has been in the works. I don\u2019t really know the attitude or guys\u2019 personal decisions if they want to get vaccinated or not. I think some of the details are going around in text messages of trying to figure out who wants what.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/amazin-but-true\/metsseasonpreview-predictionsfeat.wallybackman?accentColor=2a2a2a&amp;bgColor=f6f6f6&amp;font-family=proxima%20nova&amp;logo=false&amp;secondaryColor=cc3333\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n        <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Davis added that the incentive of loosened protocols might not sway players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a pretty close-knit group of guys,\u201d he said. \u201cI know a lot of the guys really aren\u2019t getting the itch to really go out and mingle or outdoor dining or go to bars or restaurants and have that kind of normal lifestyle. We are so focused on baseball right now and getting ready for the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Taijuan Walker is now the Mets\u2019 scheduled starting pitcher for the home opener Thursday against the Marlins. Jacob deGrom, Marcus Stroman and David Peterson are lined up for the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> in Philadelphia beginning Monday. Next Friday is an off-day, which would give manager Luis Rojas the option of bringing back deGrom on normal rest the following day or starting Joey Lucchesi (perhaps following an opener).<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Rojas was encouraged that Carlos Carrasco, who is on the injured list with a right hamstring tear, threw 15 pitches against batters in Port St. Lucie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarrasco has advanced real well,\u201d Rojas said, noting the right-hander is \u201cweek-to-week\u201d as he rehabs.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
