Juan Soto and 2 other Yankees free agents the Mets should sign, 2 they should avoid

The Mets can sign Tommy Kanhle to strengthen their bullpen.

At 34 years old, Tommy Kanhle managed to have another good season in MLB. With an ERA of 2.11, a WHIP of 1.15, and 46 strikeouts in 42.2 innings pitched, the Yankees right-hander was an important weapon in their bullpen on their route to the World Series.

Kanhle's profile is intriguing. After being a fastball pitcher throughout his career, Kanhle reinvented himself due to his continued loss of velocity over the years by completely changing the distribution of pitches in his repertoire.

Kahnle has converted his change-up as his main pitch, being used more than 73% of the time, with a batting average of .157 and a slugging percentage of .264, with an ability to induce blank swings of almost 40%.

Kahnle has converted his change-up as his main pitch, being used more than 73% of the time, with a batting average of .157 and a slugging percentage of .264, with an ability to induce blank swings of almost 40%. Kanhle trusts this pitch so much that between Game 2 of the American League Championship Series and the first game of the World Series, Kanhle only used his change-up pitcher on 56 consecutive occasions without using another pitch from his arsenal.

Kanhle could be an improved version of the role Adam Ottavino was supposed to play for the Mets last season. In a possible short-term contract with a low financial commitment, Kanhle's experience and profile could be relevant to the Mets' aspirations for the championship next season.
