Mets told John Lannan he could start or relieve at AAA -- whichever he thought was best for his career -- if he remains with organization

Not sure who TC will turn to next save situation, but really cannot be Jose Valverde. Kyle Farnsworth? Gonzalez Germen? Joel Hanrahan?
No dipshit. But it will have an infusion of talent and have a couple of Montero, Degrom, Mejia, ect. They can't all start. Torres, German, and Familia have looked pretty good. Black and Walters will likely get up here at some point. Its strength in numbers. Yes you can sign a reliever or two next year as well if nobody pans out(which is highly unlikely.
I get that this team isn't going anywhere this year, and that's fine. But they need to at least fill the roster with decent players (like Granderson and Young). If Hanrahan looks like he's anywhere close to healthy they need to sign him, end of story. They cannot give Tejada another month hitting the way he is currently, nor can they let Valverde continue to have a meaningful role.
Oh well, at least this game had some positives. Duda, Wright & Murphy had some good AB's and Chris Young is looking like he might be more like the player he was in AZ. Colon had a solid bounce back game. They need to get Granderson going.

Terry Collins sounds like he's changing closers too. Said he didn't want to address topic until he addressed players though.

Day after tough start for Rafael Montero, Noah Syndergaard rough outing too: 4 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HR so far. At 86 pitches.
Valverde gives up another bomb. Justin Upton crushes one to CF. Valverde has allowed 4HR last 3 outings.

Mets would drop to 2-6 at home this season with a loss. They are 6-3 on the road.
At least they fought back and made it close.

Terry Collins sounds like he will drop Curtis Granderson from the cleanup spot.

So the upshot of today's #Mets loss is likely a new cleanup hitter and a new closer.
And they should just close by committee at this point because there's no one in the pen who is going to hold it down by themselves.
