Is the Mets bullpen cart making a comeback? One was spotted Sunday morning outside Citi Field's Lot A. Mets fan Kevin Roth tweeted out his discovery while heading over for a pre-game cocktail at McFadden's. In his words, "how else do u expect me to watch a Jerry Blevins start? LOL."

The DBacks were the first in MLB to bring back the retro cart earlier this season, and at the time it seemed as though some other teams might hop on board as well. I was definitely pushing for it.
We got the 💰 ready, @Mets. We'll pay for the bullpen cart and drop it off tomorrow. REPLAY: https://t.co/WWitKfdZOx pic.twitter.com/Ck3IvRbOxd

While it would be awful timing for the Mets to start using one of their own, I'm sure something like this doesn't just happen over night. Maybe they ordered it after the hot start and it just got delivered? Who knows. It looks awesome though.

I'm all for the bullpen cart. While this team doesn't need more distractions, at this point it certainly can't hurt much. Roll it out, guys.
Listen, I too was an idiot from time to time. Have one or two extra beers and do some dumb shit I probably shouldn't have. Last season we were the Team Of Fun. Let's be that. Certainly not this.
Meet up with The 7 Line Army at Royal Sands Social Club before heading in to the game on April 26th! This venue is located just across the street from the Center Field entrance at Nationals Park.
We had a magical run at The Playwright during the 2024 Postseason. Night after night the place was packed out with Mets fans and we witnessed some pretty incredible moments together. Watch the game here on Saturday March 29th!
