Drew Smith News
New York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Pirates. Smith came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and delivered a 1-2-3 outing with two strikeouts. Edwin Diaz had pitched each of the last two days, so Smith was called upon to close things out. The 30-year-old has pitched well this season, going 1-0 with two holds and a 1.08 ERA in 8 1/3 IP. However, he has not seen enough high-leverage situations to warrant fantasy attention at this time.
New York Mets reliever Drew Smith is being discussed in trade talks by the club. The right-hander is in his final season of club control and can be retained via arbitration after earning $1.3 million last season. There is a Friday 7 pm Central Time deadline for clubs to tender arbitration-eligible players contracts for the 2024 season, so the Mets are seeing what Smith's market is like before potentially tendering him another contract. Smith took a step back in the 2023 season, working to a 4.15 ERA across 62 appearances but he is still the owner of a rock-solid 3.53 ERA across 172 career big-league appearances, although his 33.7% career ground-ball rate has led to some home run issues as evidenced by his 1.36 HR/9 clip.
New York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith picked up his third save of the year in Friday's 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. The 29-year-old allowed a leadoff walk, but then nabbed a key pickoff of pinch-runner Jose Caballero to undo the damage. Dominic Canzone managed a single before Smith struck out Ty France on a foul tip to nail it down. The Mets seem to have embraced a full-blown committee approach at closer also including Adam Ottavino and Brooks Raley. It's not a situation most fantasy managers should want any part of, but Smith is at least worth keeping an eye on to see if he makes inroads on the open gig down the stretch. The right-hander shows a ho-hum 3.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 56:22 K:BB in 47 2/3 innings this year.
