"You're going to need guys like him, Mendoza said. Like we said at the beginning of camp, we're going to build him up as a starter, and hopefully everybody's healthy. Long ways to go. Then we'll have to make some adjustments. If we decide to put him in the bullpen, he's definitely going to be a guy who will be a multiple-inning guy If he's healthy, he's on the team."
"Don't let Luis Garcia's journeyman status fool you: Mendoza fully intends to utilize him for significant innings in 2026. He's going to be a big part of that bullpen, the skipper said. This is a guy who's been in the league for quite a bit now, bouncing around some teams, but his stuff is there. High-90s, groundballs especially against righties but he's going to be a big part of it."
Tobias Myers will be on the Mets' Opening Day roster and will be stretched out as a starter during spring training, with the option to serve as a multi-inning reliever if the rotation is full. Myers was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers in the Freddy Peralta trade and is a 27-year-old right-hander who made 22 appearances last season, including six starts, posting a 1-2 record, 3.55 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 50.2 innings. Luis Garcia is projected to be a major bullpen contributor with high-90s velocity and groundball tendencies. Craig Kimbrel signed a minor-league deal on Jan. 29 seeking a bullpen role.
