11/13/24 Looking at Mets' bullpen situation after staff came up short on path to NLCS. The Mets' decision to not go all-in at the trade deadline was prudent at the time. President of baseball operations David Stearns made some effective moves that didn't cost the team any high-end prospects and he gave the bullpen enough fortification that the Mets were able to grab a Wild Card playoff spot. The circle of trust seemed to shrink with every round. Right-handed swingman Jose Butto was shelled in high-leverage situations, right-hander Phil Maton struggled and veteran Adam Ottavino was left off the roster completely in the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers after going unused in the Wild Card round and NLDS.

9/16/24 Mets' Edwin Diaz, Reed Garrett, Jose Butto silence Nationals in key spots during win. The previous two days ended in disappointment for the Mets, and while the offense was mostly to blame, the bullpen came up short in the excruciating defeats. Monday night produced a different result that wouldn't have been possible without impeccable work from three key relievers. Jose Butto, Edwin Diaz and Reed Garrett all tossed impressive shutout innings, helping the Mets knock off the pesky Nationals, 2-1, in 10 innings to retake the lead for the final National League wild card spot. “That's what it comes down to, making pitches and staying on the attack, executing, knowing the situation, not giving in, and they did that today,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. 3 Edwin Diaz reacts after pitching

8/21/24 Jose Butto earns trust from Carlos Mendoza despite tough outing. In an outing in which he lost the lead, Jose Butto might have won a bit more trust within the Mets. The starter turned reliever found another way to prove himself in a strange and eventful eighth inning in which he allowed the game-tying run but nothing more while fighting both a strong Orioles lineup and an inconsistent strike zone during a 4-3 Mets win at Citi Field on Wednesday . “I thought he did a hell of a job,” manager Carlos Mendoza said of Butto, who pitched for a second time on one day of rest and more battled than dominated. 3 Jose Butto earned a ton of trust from manager Carlos Mendoza on Wednesday.

8/19/24 Mets Notebook: Jose Butto too valuable in team's bullpen to transition to starter. A few weeks ago, it appeared as though the Mets were flirting with moving right-hander Jose Butto back to the starting rotation, but the team is no longer discussing a move. “The good thing is he provides that flexibility that he could be a starter, he could be in the bullpen,” Mendoza said. With a bullpen full of unreliable arms and a starter staff that leads the National League in walks, Butto stands out. The team has little restrictions on his usage, which makes it easy to plug him into various spots in the game.

(AP Photo/Noah K. Murray) AP By Manny Gómez | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK — Mets pitcher José Buttó has devoted himself to doing whatever it takes to help his team win. All season, when asked how satisfied he is with his role, he repeats some version of “I just want to help the team.” In Monday's 15-2 win over the Twins at Citi Field, Buttó entered in relief of starter Jose Quintana with an 11-1 lead in the seventh inning. He went on to pitch three innings, which is unusual considering how important

But why now? The Mets held a 10-run lead. Jose Butto has become a force out of the Mets' bullpen. USA TODAY Sports It was a strange spot for Carlos Mendoza to use one of his most trusted arms. There was a reason for it. “It's a decision we had to make there,” the manager said after the Mets' 15-2 pasting of the Twins at Citi Field on Monday . “We saw an opportunity to keep him stretched out somehow and give the bullpen a blow. He did a helluva job. He went out there, threw strikes and was able to finish the game. “I thought it was important to keep his pitch count up. We'll see what happens here [at

7/22/24 Mets Notebook: Jose Butto experiment looks like a success. The Jose Butto experiment may not be an experiment for much longer. The right-handed swingman is quickly becoming invaluable to the Mets' bullpen. Since being called up to work out of the bullpen on July 1, the right-hander has yet to allow an earned run. The 26-year-old Venezuelan is 3-0 with a save as a reliever, he's using all of his pitches against right- and left-handed hitters and overall, has made a strong impression on the Mets after five relief appearances (8 2/3 innings).

7/12/24 Jose Butto impressing with versatility since shift to Mets' bullpen. Jose Butto filled in ably as a starter for the Mets earlier this season, and he's been even more impressive in three scoreless relief appearances since he came back from Triple-A to provide a versatile arm to a banged-up bullpen earlier this month. The 26-year-old righty has recorded more than three outs in each of those outings, including the final four to notch his first major-league save Wednesday night against the Nationals . “I just try to live in the present. Not the future. Right now, this is what they need me to do,” Butto said before Friday's series opener against the Rockies at Citi Field. “If they [give] me the opportunity to be a starter, I'll be a starter.

6/04/24 The Mets are running out of time to prove they aren't this bad. Jose Butto did not begin the season on the Mets roster. He has been called up twice and sent back to the minors twice, and his last three starts have been two against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders and once versus the Buffalo Bisons. Butto, who has not started a game in the majors since May 14, leads the New York Mets in pitching Wins Above Replacement. Mark Vientos did not begin the season on the Mets roster. He was first summoned on April 27 and sent down three days later and then called up again on May 15 in a series of moves that included sending Butto down.

5/15/24 Mets demote promising starter Jose Butto after wild stretch. PHILADELPHIA — Included in a flurry of roster moves that became official Wednesday was the Mets optioning Jose Butto to Triple-A Syracuse. Butto had generally pitched well — but wildly of late — in seven starts since being summoned early last month and held a 3.08 ERA. The Mets demoted Jose Butto in a roster crunch. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con But the 26-year-old righty lasted just five innings apiece in his past two outings largely because he walked seven in the span, and he became the victim of a pitching crunch.
