Only hours after I dug deep into the New York Mets bullpen, scouted their minor leagues, and looked at other options out there via trade and free agency, the team solved one of the biggest problems it had.

There won’t be any talk of whether or not Seth Lugo can close. We won’t analyze why Justin Wilson is better suited as a setup man or should get used in high-leverage situations versus tough lefties.
