Aside from Craig Kimbrel, who the Mets were never going to be in on, the relief market has grown thin. All of the top options have signed, and while the Mets have two strong bullpen anchors in Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia at the back end, the rest of their bullpen consists of Seth Lugo—who is pitching on a partially torn UCL and could be slotted in as the team’s sixth starter—and a bunch of question marks.
Currently, the rest of the bullpen would be made up of some combination of Robert Gsellman, Kyle Dowdy, Paul Sewald, Tyler Bashlor, Jacob Rhame, Drew Smith, Daniel Zamora, Luis Avilan, Hector Santiago, Eric Hanhold, and Stephen Villines.
