Full New York Mets roster for the 2020 season including position, height, weight, birthdate, years of experience, and college. Davis snuck into our hearts in 2019 and has remained there in 2020. Davis #28 of the New York Mets awaits the pitch during the game against the Miami Marlins at Marlins Park on August 19, 2020 in Miami, Florida.

The Mets attempted to cure their starting pitching depth woes by trading for Wilmer Font in early May. Chris Flexen made one start in late April, in which he gave up six runs—five of them earned—on seven hits in 4 1⁄3 innings of work. Davis is still a trade candidate because of how the rest of the roster shapes up. Lefties still managed to hit .294 against him, however, which was identical to his mark facing right-handed hitters. He had extremely stark home/road splits, pitching to a 6.62 ERA in 15 road starts this season. Despite pitching to a similar ERA (4.21) to Syndergaard (4.28), Matz’s FIP (4.60) was a run higher than Syndergaard’s (3.60). He racked up the most appearances on the staff by the time August rolled around and ended up missing the final seven weeks of the season due to a lat injury. In his first full season out of the bullpen, Lugo tossed 80 innings, by far the most of any Mets reliever. He held a 6.13 ERA when he arrived in Queens, but had better luck with the Mets, posting a 3.68 ERA in 16 games.

Diaz struck out 15.36 batters per nine innings, certainly an elite strikeout rate, but he also walked 3.41 batters per nine innings and gave up 2.33 home runs per nine innings.

Stroman opted out from this season after pitching respectably for the Mets over the final months in 2019. Jacob deGrom was elite.

I adore his right-handed bat in the middle of the lineup.

With the Mets finishing the 2020 season with a record of 26-34 and there being an expectation that the draft order will work like it usually does, … Your privacy is safe with us. Paul Sewald is another familiar face that bounced back and forth between Triple-A and the majors this season. Gsellman’s 2019 went much like his 2018; he was effective at times during the season, but suffered from overuse and eventually succumbed to injury. For the third season in a row, deGrom pitched over 200 innings. Eleven home runs.

Aiming to acquire a good starting pitcher, these four Mets could headline a deal. He pitched far fewer innings (160 1⁄3) in those starts than deGrom, Syndergaard, or Wheeler, however. He brought the fiery energy on the mound that his reputation promised. Despite missing all of that time, Gsellman still threw the most innings out of any relief pitcher on the team besides Lugo.

He has been outrighted from the roster and declared free agency. That was a big bounce back from his subpar production in 2019, his first season with the Mets, during which he hit just 13 home runs and had a 93 wRC+ in 423 plate appearances. Regarded as the best trade pickup made by Brodie Van Wagenen since becoming the GM in Flushing, I would put Davis as the least likely of these candidates to get traded. It has recently been reported that the Mets are interested in a multiyear deal with Zack Wheeler, who will decline his qualifying offer.

He’s also decent enough in left field if that’s where his future lies. He was one of thirteen Mets pitchers who was below replacement level in 2019, as measured by fWAR. Along with Gerson Bautista and Jamie Callahan, Nogosek was part of the 2017 trade with the Red Sox that sent Addison Reed to Boston. If I were to sum up Diaz’s 2019 in one sentence, it would be this: when batters made contact against him, it was almost always hard contact and it was often a home run. Bless you if you did forget and I apologize in advance for reminding you. The only outside acquisition that the Mets brought in midseason to bolster their bullpen that worked out in any meaningful way was Brad Brach. We have now reached the rotating carousel of mediocre to outright bad relievers the Mets employed in 2019, several of which you may have forgotten pitched for the Mets this season. The Mets’ internal options did not fair much better. Font pitched in 15 games for the Mets and made three starts, totaling 31 innings of work, over which he put up a 4.94 ERA. In 22 innings of work, he walked a startling 17 batters and pitched to a 6.95 ERA. Matz’s performance was frustratingly inconsistent. His FIP was over a run lower than his ugly 5.59 ERA.

Although he did not exactly flourish out of the Mets bullpen in 2019, Chris Mazza was easy to root for. That is truly alarming. Four of those home runs came in a single outing in which he nearly blew a sizable lead against the Braves. Powered by Minute Media © 2020 All Rights Reserved. Rhame was then suspended for two games for throwing up and in at Hoskins, which accounts for much of the reason why he did not see much more time on the big league roster; the Mets were not interested in playing one man short out of the bullpen for two days while Rhame served his suspension.

MIAMI, FLORIDA - AUGUST 20: Members of the New York Mets socially distance on the field after the game between the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins was postponed due to a member of the Mets organization testing positive for COVID-19 at Marlins Park on August 20, 2020 in Miami, Florida.



We'll never pass along your email address to spammers, scammers, or the like. Mets trade candidate J.D. But from May onward in 2019, he did just that. With that in mind, I still think it’s always worth making a phone call around the league to see what’s available.

He gave up 10 runs in 16 1⁄3 innings of work over nine appearances with the Mets this season, striking out 11 batters and walking five. The lefty did not come back at full strength until July, but he was fantastic for the Mets in the second half. The Mets have more viable major league starters in the infield than there are infield spots.

He made it all the way from independent league baseball to the major leagues. Whether it be sequencing, controlling the running game, or some other adjustment we are not able to anticipate, Syndergaard can still be a monster when he is at his best. He posted a 5.19 ERA in 8 2⁄3 innings pitched. The rest of the rotation, not so much. If the offense was carried by Pete Alonso, the pitching staff was certainly once again carried by Jacob deGrom. He struck out 63 batters and walked 42. J.D.

The Mets better hope that one or both of them turn things around and fast if they can hope to have something resembling a solid relief corps in 2020. After the suspension, Rhame made just two more appearances for the Mets before requiring ulnar nerve repositioning surgery, which ended his season. The fact remains that the results simply aren’t quite what they should have been, considering his talent and his stuff. And if we’re discussing wild disconnects between results and peripherals, Diaz was the textbook case. While deGrom was able to make the necessary adjustments, it seemed that Noah Syndergaard struggled to do the same. Lugo still considers himself a starting pitcher and Brodie Van Wagenen has hinted that he may get a shot in the rotation again if the Mets cannot find a suitable arm to fill the hole in their rotation. Jacob Rhame pitched just 6 1⁄3 innings for the Mets in 2019 and would otherwise have been just one pitcher on this list of unremarkable relief arms the Mets deployed this season. He made eight relief appearances for the 2019 Mets and pitched to a 6.75 ERA over eight innings in those appearances, striking out six batters and walking five. The Blue Jays later acquired Font from the Mets for cash considerations and he went on to post considerably better numbers in Toronto. A Pod of Their Own: The “devil magic” is good player development. However, he often threw admirably in long relief, soaking up multiple innings for the Mets.

After his historic season last year, many thought it was damn near impossible he could replicate it. He posted a -0.2 fWAR, a 1.73 WHIP, and walked over 6 batters per nine innings. Dibrell began the 2019 season with the St. Lucie Mets of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, with whom he was named a FSL All-Star. Over 11 starts with the Mets in the second half, Stroman posted a very solid 3.77 ERA. 2020 will be Stroman’s final year of arbitration before he becomes a free agent next offseason. Yet, given that the Mets had few alternatives to turn to, Familia and Diaz each appeared in 66 games—the most on the team. Pete Alonso and the New York Mets prevented Tampa Bay from clinching the AL East crown Tuesday night, beating the Rays 5-2 behind three home runs and Seth Lugo's bounce-back pitching performance. I already cited Tyler Bashlor as the only other pitcher besides Gagnon to post a worse fWAR than Font. Although not quite Gold Glove-caliber, Davis looks like a fine third base option for the Mets moving forward. It was another year of being shuttled back and forth from the minors for Bashlor and his results were decidedly uneven.
