Brad Hand On The Mets Radar
3 years agoFree-agent relief pitcher Brad Hand is on the New York Mets radar. The Mets are trying to add a good left-handed reliever to a strong righty-heavy bullpen before spring training. Andrew Chafin is another possibility for New York. Hand pitched for three teams last year, including the Mets. In his 16 appearances (13 1/3 innings) in New York, the southpaw allowed four earned runs while striking out 14 and walking five. Overall, he had a 3.90 ERA and 1.27 WHIP while recording 21 saves (all with the Washington Nationals) in 64 2/3 frames. If Hand returns to the Mets, he'll likely serve in a setup role in front of closer Edwin Diaz.
