Mets managing expectations ahead of anticipated season
...
Francisco Alvarez's hamate surgery did make way for the feel-good story of the spring, with 27-year-old Hayden Senger getting his first call to the big leagues to take his place on the roster. Senger has long been considered one of the best defensive catchers in the organization, but his lack of offense limited him. A 24th-round draft pick out of Miami (Ohio) in 2018, Senger spends his offseasons working at Whole Foods while his wife, Ryann, supports the family during baseball season as a physician's assistant in Nashville.
"She has worked for a lot of years to support me through this," Senger said. "It kind of made it all, all worth it."
The Mets informed Senger he would be on the Opening Day roster before departing Port St. Lucie. Mendoza had catching coordinators Bob Natal and Glenn Sherlock in his office when he called in Senger, who was so overwhelmed he could barely get any words out. Senger immediately called his wife, who was in between patients, to work out the details of traveling to Houston. His parents will be in town, as well as some of his college friends, no word on his grocery store boss.
"He's probably already heard," Senger said. “I'm sure he has, but I've got to get on the horn with him and see what he has to say."
