On February 16th, Seth Lugo, the star of the New York Mets bullpen, got surgery to remove a bone spur in his pitching elbow. Chances are, he will only be resuming throwing around opening day, leaving a massive hole in the Amazins’ bullpen.
In Lugo’s absence, the Mets are going to need to rely on their other bullpen arms.
