3 Mets that Steve Cohen will fire if they don’t win the NL East
By Staff
The Mets could lose both Noah Syndergaard and Jeurys Familia
Thor hasn’t pitched since 2019, so it would be wise of the Mets to try and bring him back on a short-term deal. Still, if it comes down to choosing one of Syndergaard or Marcus Stroman, the latter has far more recent success, pitching to a sub-3 ERA so far this season.
Familia, meanwhile, has a near-4 ERA at the back end of the Mets bullpen. In a contract year, Familia has done little to truly stand out and show he’s deserving of another chance in Queens, or a major contract elsewhere.
Odds are, all three of Stroman, Syndergaard and Familia won’t be back next season. It’s a tough pill to swallow for a team that used to be so pitching-dominant.
