Other than that, we don't know a lot about the potential makeup of next year's bullpen. The Braves coaches who saw Chris Withrow throw last week in Orlando, Fla., were confident he'll be ready to serve as a setup man at the start of next year. But we still don't know exactly what to expect from Jason Grilli (Achilles) or Shae Simmons (Tommy John surgery).
Mike Foltynewicz would certainly be capable to fill one of those vacant late-inning relief roles. But as Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey have guided the Mets to the World Series, I think there is even more reason to give Folty at least a few more months to show whether his power arm fits in the rotation.
