New York Mets must make Dellin Betances their number one priority

The New York Mets desperately need to improve their bullpen for the 2020 season. On the free agent front, ex-New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances looks like the perfect candidate to help turn one of their biggest weaknesses in 2019 into a strength.

Betances was once regarded as one of the most feared relief pitchers in baseball. From 2014-2017, Betances was widely considered the best relief pitcher in the American League. That four-year span featured four All-Star appearances, a top-15 Cy Young award finish, and close to 500 strikeouts over just 306.
