- Mets option infielder Wilmer Flores and reassign RHP Carlos Torres and infielder Josh Satin to minor league camp.Flores had to be sent down by the end of the week or there would have been consequences.Satin is in the 6th year of control and will most probably finish his Mets career this season playing 1B in Las VegasCarlos Torres could easily be cut later on in the process

What consequences would there have been keeping Flores with the club longer??
Here’s why (courtesy of Adam Rubin):
The Mets, like other major league teams, must ship out prospects on the 40-man roster by Friday if they want to minimize the risk to the organization. Generally, if 40-man-roster players remaining in major league camp become injured within 15 days of Opening Day, they earn major league service time and pay and have to land on the disabled list to open the season until they heal. So players such as [Travis] d’Arnaud and Wilmer Flores, who are on the 40-man roster but not likely to make the Opening Day roster, should be dispatched to minor league camp by Friday.
