Edwin Diaz Won't Cure All With the New York Mets Bullpen

Locked On Mets - Daily Podcast On The New York Mets

In their final game without Edwin Diaz, the New York Mets got blown out against Paul Skenes and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Jake Diekman was at the center of another bullpen meltdown, giving up the first of two grand slams in consecutive innings.

Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the loss and how Diaz's return alone cannot save the Mets bullpen. However, Shintaro Fujinami looked great in Double-A.

Could the flamethrower soon be called up to help an ailing bullpen?
