The New York Mets signed reliever RHP Brad Brach today on a one-year, $850,000 deal with a player option of $1.25 million for 2021. Brach was signed by the Mets this past August after he was released by the Chicago Cubs. He had a 3.68 ERA, 2.67 FIP,  and 15 strikeouts in 14.2 innings for the team. He has done well against right-handed hitters in his career holding them to a .209 average.

It remains to be seen what Brach's role will be this year since he fares much better against righty hitters than lefty hitters. With the new three-batter rule instituted by MLB, rookie manager Carlos Beltran will have to figure out how to use Brach properly.
