Mets: AJ Ramos wasting away any chances at closing again

AJ Ramos is an intriguing player in the final year of his contract. The former Miami Marlins closer won’t get many save opportunities for the New York Mets this year as long Jeurys Familia stays effective and healthy.

This isn’t the case next year. Ramos is a free agent and has a strong enough track-record to possibly earn a closer’s job. With the Mets or another squad, he has the pedigree to at least entice someone.

Unfortunately, early results may hurt his odds.

Ramos has struggled more than once in the early part of 2018.
