While the vast majority of updates about the Mets’ bullpen over the past week has consisted of Brad Hand rumors, it’s worth remembering that the team’s bullpen could still use some help. Thus far, Trevor May is the only relief pitcher signed by the Mets to a major league deal this offseason, and the team is coming off a shortened 2020 season in which its bullpen had a 4.60 ERA and 4.74 FIP.
As a quick refresher, the Mets’ bullpen as currently constructed includes Edwin Diaz, Seth Lugo, Trevor May, Jeurys Familia, Dellin Betances, Miguel Castro, Brad Brach, and Jacob Barnes.
