New York Mets: Jerry Blevins is aiming for one of the last bullpen spots

With the arrivals of right-hander Trevor May and lefty Aaron Loup, the New York Mets have one of the deepest bullpens in the National League, even if they won’t have stellar setup man Seth Lugo available for the start of the season.

Edwin Diaz is supposed the be the closer, and he is one of the best relievers in baseball. May is a fantastic addition, and Loup is a very good lefty to help retire batters of his hand. Dellin Betances and Jeurys Familia, as well as Robert Gsellman, are bounceback candidates, and there are lots of hopes put in Sam McWilliams, who the Mets gave a major league deal without ever pitching in the bigs.
