What does Jeurys Familia have in store for the New York Mets and their fans in 2020? The veteran reliever was at one point a dominant yet untrustworthy closer for the team during their consecutive playoff runs in 2015 and 2016.
For the most part, his notorious outings came in those playoff runs. He hasn’t been nearly the same pitcher since, settling in with the club as a setup man last year rather than the closer.
Familia won’t work his way back to closing again anytime soon—at least nobody seems to think so.
