4 years agoRight-handed reliever Jacob Barnes was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets on Friday. In 2020, with the Los Angeles Angels, the 30-year old posted an unimpressive 5.50 ERA, and 1.28 WHIP in 18 innings pitched. Notably, however, Barnes throws in the mid-to-upper 90s and posted a 2.25 FIP with 24 strikeouts in 2020. As such, there is some potential middle relief upside for the Mets with this move. That said, for purposes of fantasy, Barnes holds little value heading into 2021.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
