The New York Mets bullpen is in dire need of help. It ranked as one of the worst bullpens in baseball by ERA, blown saves, FIP, and innings pitched. For the Mets to be successful in 2020 they need their bullpen to improve.
The easiest way for that to happen is for the Mets to acquire good relief pitchers in free agency. All that would cost is money and the team would improve. However, the Mets are reportedly working within a limited budget according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
That put Mets’ GM Brodie Van Wagenen in a bind.
