NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — With their starting pitching among the best in baseball and their once-inept lineup now seemingly more representative of what a pennant contender should boast, the Mets have the look of a team that could do some damage come October.
They just need their bullpen to hold together.
The addition of Addison Reed should help, and he seems genuinely excited for the opportunity, despite the fact that he was thrust into his new situation totally blind.
“To be 100 percent honest with you, I’ve never followed the Mets or even paid attention to them up until about 30 hours ago,” Reed told the NY Post prior to New York’s 3-1 win over Philadelphia at Citi Field on Monday.
