Ronny Paulino's locker remained vacant at the Mets' complex on Wednesday. Paulino, who will need to sit out the first eight games of the season to complete a 50-game ban for a performance-enhancing substance, is having a visa issued. GM Sandy Alderson has indicated the visa delay is directly tied to that MLB ban.
