I, like many other fans of the New York Mets, have faith that 2019 will be a successful year for the team. The thing that convinced me that fortunes were reversing in Queens was Brodie Van Wagenen’s commitment to shoring up a leaky bullpen in the offseason.
In my opinion, the moves to bring in Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia signaled the Mets were in the midst of establishing themselves as the top pitching staff – top to bottom – in the league. However, the early part of the season has had fans wanting more from the front office in terms of free agents to make the staff even stronger.
