Roster Decisions, Rule 5 Protections and First-Base Vacancy

The Mets reportedly have a full 40-man roster and face Rule 5 decisions involving Jefferson Rojas and Jack Wenninger; no choices are confirmed. The first-base search remains open: the Cardinals reportedly rejected trade offers for Alec Burleson, while interest in Ty France and Teruaki Sato and contact with Alec Bohm’s representatives have also been reported. Spencer Steer is a suggested versatile trade target, but proposed packages are speculative; no first-base deal is known. Separately, a report says Marcus Semien must earn playing time, with Brett Baty and potentially Rojas among internal alternatives.
