Wardy underscored the importance of versatility within the bullpen and posited that Hill's experience and skills would serve as an asset as the Mets prepare for the rigors of the upcoming season.

As the Mets navigate the off-season, the discussions surrounding Ryan Mountcastle and Spencer Torkelson serve as examples of the team’s potential shift in strategy regarding first base, depending on the future of Pete Alonso. Coupled with the search for quality relief pitching, notably through Tim Hill, the Mets are clearly positioning themselves for a competitive season ahead in 2025.
