Late last week, SNY's Andy Martino posed the question as to whether Dellin Betances was a lock to make the Met's Opening Day Roster. Considering he struggled in 2020 to the tune of a 7.71 ERA in only 11.2 innings, Betances was on shaky ground. So far this spring, he has a 10.80 ERA across five appearances and with the offseason acquisition of Francisco Lindor, the Mets are signaling that they are ready to compete in 2021. The Mets need a reliable bullpen this season which means Betances could be on the outs. Does a trip on the subway back to the Bronx make sense for the former bullpen stud?
A Dellin Betances redux?
