Mets and Phillies make identical moves, but who won the setup man battle—Luke Weaver or Brad Keller?  

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down why the New York Mets landed Weaver on a two-year, $22 million deal, highlighting his strikeout prowess, starter-to-reliever versatility, and track record in high-leverage situations.  

Did New York’s front office score with a proven arm, or could Keller’s groundball magic for the Phillies be the better value?

Key topics include how Luke Weaver’s profile compares to Brad Keller’s, the Mets’ ongoing bullpen rebuild post-Edwin Diaz, and potential targets like Seranthony Dominguez.  

Finkelstein evaluates injury concerns, home run rates, and setup roles, while assessing the Mets’ depth and remaining offseason needs.  

Will the combination of Devin Williams, Weaver, and AJ Minter be enough to anchor New York’s postseason hopes? Get all the insight on the Mets’ pursuit of bullpen dominance in the NL East.
