Mark Brewer, the organization's Triple-A pitching coach, also serves in that capacity for the winter-ball team and can oversee Carson's usage.
Carson worked as a starter last season in the minors and logged 128 1/3 innings, while this year he has worked in relief and accumulated a fraction of that innings count.
Carson plans to spend only a month and toss 15 innings while pitching with Orientales.

Mets will go to final inning trailing by a run. Good news: Aroldis Chapman has blown 2 straight saves. #Reds 4, #Mets 3, end 8.

So I can see the Mets actually spending in free agency, including for a Choo type, and still have payroll go down.

There will be arbitration raises. Really rough estimate: Mets would probably need to spend ~$50M in FA to have same $95M payroll in '14
