If everyone’s for sale, these teams should probably call the Mets
2. Cleveland Indians
Due in part to injuries the Indians’ bullpen has been a real mess so far this year, so that’s a clear need to be addressed sooner rather than later, But even with the relatively good news on Carlos Carrasco’s elbow injury, the starting rotation thins quickly after Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer. Mike Clevinger has been a revelation (3.00 ERA), but if a starter is added he could shift to the bullpen and help out there.
The Mets could look to part with closer Jeurys Familia, who just returned from a shoulder injury but has pitched well (2.70 ERA, 14 saves and a 33:10 K/BB ratio over 30 innings) and is a free agent after the season. Otherwise, Lugo, Gsellman, Anthony Swarzak and left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins could all appeal to the Indians as options to fortify their bullpen.
A major move for Syndergaard or deGrom shouldn’t be totally ruled out for Cleveland, depending on what they’d be willing to part with to get it done. A move for a pitcher has to be on the radar regardless, and the Mets have plenty of options to provide a match for the Indians.
