Saturday afternoon’s game against the Yankees was a tough pill as the Mets lost 2-1. Despite Robert Gsellman having a stronger outing than his last, the Mets bullpen were unable to secure the win. Gsellman allowed only one run and four hits over the four innings he pitched. With four strikeouts, the pitcher had good placement of his deliveries with a good command of his fastball. Steven Matz...

Fantastic news came out on Christmas Eve that the Mets signed four-time All-Star RHP Dellin Betances. So, are the Mets going to add more players to the bullpen? Right now, it doesn’t appear likely. While the Mets might be wise to add another bullpen piece, their current roster isn’t flexible. The issue stems from Brad Brach, Justin Wilson, Jeurys Familia, and Michael Wacha being on major...

I will go on the record and say I love the idea of having these two as relievers. I also would love to see Zack Wheeler as a reliever but the Jason Vargas injury keeps him in the rotation for now. Both Gsellman and Lugo came up in 2016 and helped pitch the Mets into the playoffs. Gsellman flashed a 95 MPH sinker which was nearly impossible to elevate while Lugo flashed a nasty curveball. In...

Helping out at the Mets annual coat drive today, reporters caught up with Mets RHP Zack Wheeler. He was asked about pitching in the bullpen, and he told MLB.com’s Joe Trezza, “I’ve started my whole life, so obviously I’d like to do that. But I know they’re looking out for me.” One of the reasons he would pitch out of the bullpen would be to conserve his...
