Alderson said the Mets want to get as many players vaccinated as possible.
"I think that’s in the best interest of the team," he said. "It’s in the best interest of their families. It’s in the best interests of those who work with the players. So I hope that in addition to their own, personal medical considerations, that they take all of those things into consideration, as well. We’re hopeful they will."
