The New York Mets had one glaring weakness in 2019: the bullpen. Capping off embarrassing losses with blown saves, and shoddy bullpen work in general, was a common sight for Mets fans. Could things be different in 2020?
Well, according to Fangraphs’ projections, New York is going to have the third most productive bullpen in baseball and the best unit in the National League. The Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees top the list at one and two, respectively.
In order for these projections to hold true, the Mets are going to need bounce-back seasons from Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia.
