At the trade deadline, the Mets were on the hunt, not for stars, but for complementary pieces to bolster and fortify some of their shakier areas. One such area was the bullpen, which had a strong closer and a few good relievers, but also a lot of middle relievers being churned and to plug holes […]

With Edwin Díaz having signed a three-year deal with the Dodgers, the Mets have lost perhaps the best reliever to have ever pitched for the franchise.
