Yohan Ramírez is one of several arms trying to claim that spot, and he’s similar to most of the other pitchers who are in the mix when it comes to being out of options.
Entering his age-29 season, Ramírez has spent portions of...

With Edwin Díaz out last year, Raley was the Mets’ best reliever.
Over the course of the entire 2023 season, lefty Brooks Raley was undoubtedly the Mets’ best reliever. There’s context to that, of course, as Edwin Díaz missed the entire season with a knee injury, and David Robertson had a better ERA as a member of the Mets’ bullpen before he was dealt to the Marlins for a couple of legitimately good prospects.
The Mets got Raley in a trade with...

It turns out the team that most stood in their way in 2023 was themselves. Go figure.
This year, the Mets don’t figure to have much...

An injury is robbing him of the first couple months of the season and a prime opportunity.
A relatively quiet offseason has come and gone for the Mets, with a few pitching additions that on a good day should bump the Mets’ rotation depth to just that: depth. However, Kodai Senga’s injury and its unknown duration create an opening, with familiar names (Tylor Megill, José Butto) trying to claim the final open slot. One name that has spent the last few...
