Mets need to strengthen bullpen with many big names available
NY Post
Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns has addressed his team’s lineup this offseason (see Juan Soto) and starting rotation (see Sean Manaea, Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas).
To date, the bullpen hasn’t been touched beyond the collection of largely unproven arms who have been signed or claimed off waivers.
The known quantities include Edwin Diaz, Reed Garrett, Sean Reid-Foley and Jose Butto (if he doesn’t return to starting). Dedniel Nunez also pitched at a high level before a late-season elbow injury sidelined him. Lefty Danny Young was successful for a stretch but faded late in the season. Huascar Brazoban is another wild card.
In short, there is room for additional talent.
The market remains flooded with proven relievers. The key, of course, is trying to decipher which stocks are rising and declining in a usually volatile sector.
A look at some of the bigger names still available:
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The hockey world is getting a new TV adaptation of another romance series that helped define the genre.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
That’s an easy way to get thrown out of the arena.
