Bobby Valentine has some advice for new skipper Carlos Beltran — fix the bullpen.
“I’m pulling for (Beltran),” the former Mets manager told TMZ Sports while attending a Mariano Rivera charity event in New York City. “I hope he can get the end of the bullpen together and maybe even get (Yoenis) Cespedes to play a little, and put that group together offensively, so they can be consistent to go with that pitching. And it’s lights out. ”
The Mets had hoped — and likely still are hoping — closer Edwin Diaz would be the answer as the team’s closer.
