The New York Mets added much needed bullpen depth by signing former New York Yankee closer Luke Weaver to a 2-year, $22 million contract. While this move is definitely a step in the right direction following Edwin Diaz's departure, there is still more work to be done.
The Mets will likely be out on the rest of the big-name relievers this offseason, and former first-round pick LHP Sean Newcomb should be on David Stearns' radar to round out this Met bullpen for the 2026 season.
Who is Sean Newcomb?
Newcomb was drafted 15th overall in 2014 by the then Anaheim Angels and was traded to the Atlanta Braves in a package for Andrelton Simmons in the 2015 offseason.
