A NY Mets spring training participation trophy isn’t good enough for Mike Tauchman

Andres Galaragga. Bret Boone. Luke Voit. They’re three guys who came into New York Mets spring training and didn’t earn a job. Mike Tauchman sounds determined to join a different list of players.

In an interview with NJ.com’s Max Goodman, Tauchman talked about why he chose the Mets. His takeaway was that the Mets will actually give him a chance to make the club out of camp.

“I like the opportunity. I felt like in speaking with them that there was a good chance to make the team and have the camp experience that I think is best for me to get ready for the season.
