If you stopped watching the New York Mets in early July, you will be surprised to learn Anthony Swarzak has become the team’s unofficial closer. Mickey Callaway has gone to the veteran righty several times since the Jeurys Familia trade to pick up the save. The results have been surprisingly good.
Maybe this is a sign of bigger plans for Swarzak. Perhaps we see him actually take over the closer role in a more official form next season.
Other than Swarzak, the Mets don’t have any serious contender for the job in 2019.
