Like the rest of Major League Baseball, the New York Mets sit idle. However, the roster newly appointed general manager Billy Eppler and team were in the middle of re-shaping and rebuilding still far from perfect.
One of the areas left to address? One of the most important aspects of a successful baseball team: the bullpen.
Current Landscape of the Bullpen
As it currently stands the Mets have the following relievers on the team’s 40-man roster:
- Miguel Castro (RHP)
- Yennsy Díaz (RHP)
- Edwin Díaz (RHP)
- Seth Lugo (RHP)
- Trevor May (RHP)
- Jake Reed (RHP)
- Sean Reid-Foley (RHP)
- Drew Smith (RHP)
Teams usually carry around seven-to-eight relievers.
