Mets Finalize Bullpen: Brazobán, Kimbrel, Hudson in Mix

About this episode

The New York Mets bullpen has one spot left for Opening Day, with Huascar Brazobán securing a role. The team plans to have six starters, reducing the relievers to seven. Veterans like Craig Kimbrel and Bryan Hudson are contenders, with Kimbrel signing a minor league deal and Hudson joining via trade. Brazobán and Hudson have shown promising performances this spring, while Kimbrel has struggled with control issues. The decision may depend on the need for a second lefty reliever, as A.J. Minter is sidelined until May.

The latest scores, headlines and storylines, right here on New York Met's news today. Subscribe and stay game ready. The New York Met's bullpen has one spot left for opening day. Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Quascar Brazoban earned a role there. That leaves Devon Williams, Luke Weaver, Brooks Rally, Tobias Myers, and Luis Garcia filling the other six jobs out of seven total relievers. The team plans six daughters this year, cutting the usual eight relievers down to seven. Mendoza expects no final call until after they break camp next Monday. He noted things often shift right up to game time with injuries or other surprises. Fans and insiders eye veterans like 37-year-old Craig Kimberl and Lefty Brian Hudson as top contenders. Kimberl signed a mater league deal worth $2,500,000 if he sticks. Hudson joined via trade from the White Sox early in camp. Brazoban showed multi-inning promise after strong world baseball classic work, including scoreless outings against top hitters.

Hudson flashed better velocity in a sharp breaking ball this spring, despite last year's dips. Kimberl posted a 2.25 earned run average, but wrestled control issues. The decision could hinge on needing a second lefty behind Raley, especially with AJ Mintor sidelined until May. All eyes stay on final spring games as the Mets finalize their relief core.
