David Robertson could emerge as the Mets closer after Diaz injuryMarch 18, 2023 | 06:36 PM

David Robertson is the most experienced closer on the Mets roster now that Edwin Diaz is out for the season following knee surgery on Thursday and could emerge as the team's closer. Writer's Analysis: The Mets have not made any official comments yet, but Robertson should have a shot at saves this year, at least in the early going. Robertson saved 20 games last season for the Cubs and Phillies. In addition, the Mets could look to Adam Ottavino and Brooks Raley in the ninth inning.
