Memories of Dellin Betances

Dodgers give ol' No. 68 a minor league contract. I mostly remember him standing alongside Cano, Conforto and Smith as they Zoom-elaborated on the Mets' decision to support BLM and postpone their game vs the Marlins.

I didn't even remember he was a Met.

I remember that he outmassed his wife by a ratio of what seemed like 4:1.

He was signed and then hurt. He essentially did nothing (or at least nothing good) during his time with the Mets. He pitched to a 7.71 ERA (57 ERA+) over 11.2 Innings in 15 appearances in 2020. In 2021, he improved(?) to a 9.00 ERA (61 ERA+) over 1 inning of work in his only appearance. I guess last year could be considered an improvement, since he basically didn't pitch; which was likely a good thing for the Mets.

He really was signed hurt — on the hope that a specimen like him, if he can get back to form, would be a steal. The Mets did a similar thing yesterday in signing John Curtis, even though he's out for the season as he recovers from surgery. Dellin was further along in his recovery, but he was still something a longshot at the time.

My primary memory of Betances involved slapping my head when I realized that van Wegenen gave him a player option for the second year.

Dellin Betances has retired, per Jon Heyman.

Too bad. We might need him tonight.

Never really recovered from that injury he had as a Yank.
