Where Mets might turn for bullpen help at GM meetings

The Mets are expected to seek bullpen help at the general managers’ meetings after the relief corps became a rare success in a disappointing season. Its depth helped the team avoid a late-season collapse and contributed to a 27-22 record after the trade deadline, despite finishing with only 74 wins.

The bullpen was strengthened in two phases: through off-season additions, then by giving prospects opportunities after Luke Weaver, A.J. Minter, Brooks Raley and Huascar Brazobán were traded. Nate Lavender, Daniel Duarte and Jonathan Pintaro emerged, Dedniel Núñez returned from Tommy John surgery rehabilitation, and Kodai Senga showed he could handle a high-leverage relief role while Devin Williams was injured.
