Jacob Rhame has work to do coming off a poor 2018 season

The Mets acquired Jacob Rhame in 2017, receiving him from the Dodgers in exchange for Curtis Granderson. He came over as a guy with a good fastball, gaudy minor league strikeout totals, and questionable secondaries, adding to the pile of fungible relief arms the Mets targeted at the deadline. He continued to dominate at Las Vegas after the trade, and while his brief major league performance was dismal, there was hope Rhame could be a solid relief option in 2018.

Instead, it’s hard to find any positive slant about Rhame’s season.
