Mets' Roster Battle: Bullpen, Bench Spots Up for Grabs

About this episode

The New York Mets are making their final roster decisions for Opening Day, with one bullpen spot and one bench spot still up for grabs. Left-handers Bryan Hudson and Dick Lovelady are competing for the bullpen role, while Cristian Pache, Vidal Brujan, and Jared Young are vying for the bench spot. The Mets are seeking bullpen depth and a lefty arm off the bench, as their current bench is heavy on right-handed hitters. The front office, led by David Stearns, may still search for a better reliever option on the waiver wire before Thursday. A decision is expected soon, as the Mets balance immediate needs with long-term flexibility heading into the season.

It's March 25th. This is New York Metz News Today, powered by AI Everything Happening With Your Team. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Metz are down to the wire on their opening day roster, with one bullpin spot and one bench spot still up for grabs. For the pin, it's a choice between left handers, Brian Hudson and Dick Love Lady after they cut Craig Kimbrill. Meanwhile, the final bench roll comes down to Christian Pache, Vidal, Bruhahn, or Jared Young. Hudson struggled to spring with the 16.20 ERA over 3.1 innings, though he shone last year with the 1.73. Mark and 62.1 innings for the Milwaukee Brewers. Love Lady impressed and camp with the 1.80 ERA and 8 strikeouts in 5 innings, building on solid relief stints across a few teams. Fans and analysts are watching closely as the Metz Cray bullpin depth and a lefty arm off the bench. The current bench project's heavy on right-handed hitters like Mark Vientos, Tyrone Taylor, and

Luis Torrance, so a lefty bat from Young, or, switch hitter Bruhahn could tip the scales. Bruhahn might also back up shortstop Francisco Lindor, who's recovering from Hamat surgery. The front office, led by David Sterns, could still hunt the waiver wire before Thursday for a better reliever option if neither lefty feels right. They've shown their quick to pounce on upgrades. Expect a decision soon as the Metz balance immediate needs with long-term flexibility heading into the season.
