Mets Miss Out on Smith, Seek Relief Help

0:00On March 29th, the New York Mets were eyeing a reunion with right-hander Drew Smith, who pitched for them from 2018 to 2024. He got released by the Washington Nationals last week, sparking interest from over 15 teams, including the Mets who have an open spot in there. Bullpen.

That leaves the Mets hunting elsewhere for relief help as they push forward in the standings. That's the story for today. New York Mets News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
