So you need a starter? Call Seth Lugo. Short man or closer? Same. Long relief? You got it.
“If worse comes to worse, I think I’ll be able to find a job somewhere,” Lugo said.
True, a guy like Lugo is definitely in demand, and the Mets are glad they have him as part of their varied bullpen corps. Lugo, with five starts on his 2018 résumé, has thrown 85 innings in 43 games and has displayed impressive mound versatility.
“They’re very valuable,” manager Mickey Callaway said, drawing a comparison between Lugo and one-time Angel Scott Shields.
