Looking At Alzolay

Alzolay has spent all six seasons of his MLB career with the Chicago Cubs.
During the 2023 season, he went 2-5 with a 2.67 ERA in 58 games.
Ben Yoel had written (on June 17): “Adbert Alzolay tossed two scoreless innings for Syracuse last night. If he continues to pitch well he will be an option for the Mets bullpen sooner rather than later. He saved 22 games for the Cubs in 2023.”

Over 121 career MLB games, the 31-year-old has gone 12-25 with a 4.04 ERA.
It will be interesting to see if another team picks him up before the end of the 2026 season.
He could be a good addition to an organization in need of pitching depth.
@metsbatflip1 had written (on January 23): “There’s one reliever in the Mets bullpen that nobody is talking about enough. 30 year old Adbert Alzolay. In 2023 for the Cubs, he appeared in 58 games, threw 64 innings, saved 22 games, and finished with a 2.67 ERA. He’s got a fastball that tops out around 98 mph and overall has REALLY good stuff. If he stays healthy, he is a real weapon for this bullpen.”
