The Mets, who have been struggling to find a stable bullpen for the vast majority of the season, struck a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays for right handed pitcher Wilmer Font, in exchange for either cash considerations or a player to be named later.
Font bounced around the minor leagues for ten years, getting only various cups of coffee in the majors, before making his first lengthy stint in the bigs with a trio of teams in 2018. He started the season with the Dodgers, then moved to Oakland, though he had major struggles in both places, amassing an ERA over ten on both teams.
