Tobias Myers, a right-handed pitcher acquired by the New York Mets in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, is entering spring training with the Mets prepared to take on a versatile role. The team has told Myers to build up as a starter, providing additional depth to a group that includes several other pitchers. However, Myers is also ready to work out of the bullpen if needed, saying it's easier to transition from a starting role to a relief role rather than the other way around.
Why it matters
Myers' ability to succeed as both a starter and reliever enhances his value to the Mets, who are looking to build depth in their pitching staff ahead of the upcoming season. His versatility gives the team more options and flexibility in how they utilize their pitching resources.
The details
In 2025, Myers appeared in 22 games for the Brewers, starting 6 of them. As a starter, he posted a 5.64 ERA, but was much more effective in 16 relief appearances, recording a 1.91 ERA. The Mets acquired Myers along with Freddy Peralta in a trade that sent Brandon Sproat and Jett Williams to Milwaukee. The Mets have told Myers to build up as a starter in spring training, but he is prepared to work out of the bullpen if needed during the season.
