The New York Mets’ bullpen appeared to be a significant strength entering the season. After adding Edwin Diaz in a big trade with the Seattle Mariners, the Mets doubled down on the back end of the pen by bringing back Jeurys Familia to serve as a setup man. Familia had closed for the past several years with the Mets, but slid into a setup role for Oakland down the stretch last season, offering hope he could stabilize the eighth inning here. That has not been the case as Familia has been awful, an alarming development early in the season.<\/p>\n
