Mets 2026 Positional Outlook: Relievers

The bullpen has the potential to be better than last season’s even with the loss of elite closer Edwin Díaz. Devin Williams has never given up more than five home runs in a season. Díaz gave up seven in 2024 and 15 in 2019.

Ryne Stanek is gone, taking his 5.30 ERA with him. The trio the Mets picked up at the trade deadline – Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers and Gregory Soto – all signed elsewhere. Only Rogers pitched well down the stretch.

The bullpen’s 3.93 ERA ranked 15th in MLB in 2025.
