Mets shouldn’t shy away from helping the struggling Phillies bullpen

The New York Mets bullpen isn’t the only one in need of some help. Several contenders could use a relief pitcher to stop the bleeding. This includes the hated Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies opened the year with Hector Neris as their closer. Recently, several bad performances led to his demotion to Triple-A. This has opened the door for other relievers to take over, including breakout rookie Seranthony Dominguez.

As exciting as it can be to put trust in a young reliever, the more important part of building a winning bullpen is to ensure you have all of the pieces you need.
