Jeurys Familia has been traded away. AJ Ramos is on the DL and headed for free agency, as is Jerry Blevins. Among the rest of the Mets bullpen, who can you see playing a key role in 2019? Are our future closer and setup man on the roster?

    I’d audition Swarzak for the role over the next two months but not exclusively. Next year is his walk year and I’m sure he’d like to put up good numbers for his next contract (good incentive). Lugo and Gsellman can both pitch multiple innings so I’m hesitant to limit their appearances. Maybe Familia comes back? Who knows? Other than that there’s nothing in AAA that excites me. FA? Now that’s a terrifying notion. Maybe we can do a closer by committee? The Mets already have 92 million committed for 2019 adding arb hearings it’ll be closer to 125 maybe more. The team needs a bat that will stay healthy enough to play 150+ games either by trade or FA.

    All four of the guys who do the recaps have plans this weekend. So the Friday and Saturday Gut Reactions will be posted much later than normal.

    Two hits, one of them by deGrom. My gut tells me that the organization is going to make very few moves in the off-season and are going to rely on the “healthy” players story.

    OK, the bullpen. Greg Holland was just released. Will he end up in a Mets uniform?

    Since July 1:

    Jose Bautista has a .172/.294/.290 mark in 109 PA with a 31.2 K%.

    But sure, let’s play him every day.
