Mets In On Trevor Rosenthal
4 years agoThe New York Mets have stayed in touch with free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal and are clearly "in" on the right-hander. The hard-throwing veteran is arguably the best reliever left on the open market after a bounce-back 2020 campaign in which he was a finalist for National League Reliever of the Year. The 30-year-old recorded 11 saves, a 1.90 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings with the Royals and Padres. Rosenthal's 100 mph fastball makes him an elite late-inning arm when he's healthy, but teams may be wary after his disastrous 2019 season when he seemingly lost all of his command. The Mets could use more bullpen depth after Seth Lugo (elbow) was just shut down for six weeks, and Rosenthal could be a candidate for the ninth inning if Edwin Diaz falters or is traded.
