The New York Mets had a special surprise visitor at Spring Training on Friday and he paid a visit to ace Kodai Senga.

Kodai Senga spent part of his winter in rehab mode, with the goal of arriving at spring training ready for a normal buildup toward the season.

Senga, who joined the Mets not long ago, recently gave his take on what might help East Coast teams, like the Mets, entice more Japanese talent. His suggestion? A roof over their heads. While it may sound odd at first, Senga’s comment was playful but also revealing.
