The New York Mets are collecting high-powered right-handed relievers. They know that a dominant bullpen is one of the keys to winning a championship, and new owner Steve Cohen is determined to earn a ring within his first five years in front of the franchise.
In recent weeks, the New York Mets have secured the services of several relievers, both in minor and major league deals. They have inked Sam McWilliams, Jacob Barnes, Jared Robinson, Trevor Hildenberger, and of course, Trevor May.
Now, according to SNY’s Andy Martino, they are showing interest in perhaps the best and most dominant bullpen piece available in the free agent market: Liam Hendriks, the former closer of the Oakland A’s.
