With the MLB season paused due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Mets have been trying to stay ready as they wait for information regarding a potential start date.

Dominic Smith has been taking try hacks and running with J.D. Davis in a hotel parking lot.

Edwin Diaz has been staying ready while pitching in an empty ballpark.

Marcus Stroman is throwing bullpen sessions from makeshift mounds.

Wilson Ramos has been catching his Mets-prospect brother and most recently was in full gear in his house.

What about Jeff McNeil?

"I've just been doing garage workouts with (Brandon) Nimmo," McNeil said Wednesday on The Cookie Club presented by Insomnia Cookies. "Been going over to his house. He's got a little setup, so that's all I've really been doing."

And what does McNeil miss most about baseball?

"I miss everything," he said. "I miss the grind. I miss going in every single day and competing. I miss my teammates. It kind of sucks right now, I mean we are with no one. We are all quarantined by ourselves. It sucks, but I'm looking forward to when the season starts up again. Get all the boys back and hopefully win a championship."
