Tobias Myers was sent from the Brewers to the Mets along with Freddy Peralta in Wednesday’s four-player deal.
Myers was surprisingly successful as a rookie in 2024, posting a 3.00 ERA in 138 innings for the Brewers, and while his 2025 started badly, resulting in him spending a fair amount of time in the minors, he still wound up with a 3.55 ERA in six starts and 16 relief appearances for the Brewers. One area of concern was that his strikeout rate dipped from 22% in 2024 to 17% last season. Myers’ 92-95 mph fastball is underwhelming, but he throws strikes and his new splitter is a weapon. He should be of use as a middle reliever in New York, though he has an option year left if the Mets choose to stash him away. He also won’t even be arbitration eligible until 2028.
