Mets Bullpen Shuffle Finds Dan Hammer | New York Mets News
Description
The Mets’ bullpen is in chaos, constantly cycling through arms as they search for stability. Enter Dan Hammer, a 28-year-old right-hander with elite velocity and a nasty cutter — but also a troubling walk rate. Despite walking 17 batters in 20 innings at Triple-A, he’s posted a solid 1.77 ERA and strikes out 10+ per nine innings. Manager Andy Green says his stuff is legit, and the key is simply throwing strikes. With roster moves happening weekly — including DFA’ing Zuñiga, Seelinger, and Curry — the Mets are clearly prioritizing depth over consistency. Green admits championship teams need more than just their 26-man roster — they need the flexibility to keep the bullpen firing on all cylinders, even if it means constant shuffling.
