Brandon Waddell, a versatile left-handed pitcher, returns to the New York Mets for another season after a successful 2025 campaign. With a 3.45 ERA over 11 appearances, Waddell proved his worth, having previously pitched in the majors and in Korea. His swingman role, allowing him to start, finish, and relieve games, was crucial for the team. The Mets also acquired reliever Gerber from the Rays, strengthening their pitching staff. Waddell's new contract secures his spot on the major league roster, but his flexibility may be limited due to losing his minor league option.
