Fantasy Impact: Garrett pitched in a career-high 58 games last season and posted a 3.90 ERA with a career-best 20 holds in 55.1 innings. Over his last two seasons in New York, Garrett has won 11 games out of the bullpen, posted a 3.83 ERA, and has struck out 147 batters in 112.2 innings. The righthander will likely spend all of 2026 recovering from Tommy John surgery and won't be available again until 2027.

Fantasy Impact: Alvarez battled through an injury-plagued 2025 season that saw him only appear in 76 games for the Mets. He still managed to hit .256 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI across 277 plate appearances. While the batting average may never be great, the power is certainly there as evidenced by his 25 home runs in 123 games for the Mets in 2023. He underwent thumb surgery early in the offseason and should be ready for Opening Day. If he stays healthy, a return to 25 home runs could definitely be in the cards for Alvarez.
