Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) on X “Paul Blackburn will make his Mets debut Friday in Anaheim. Tylor Megill is going to the bullpen, at least temporarily. The Mets will decide in the near future if the want to go to a six-man rotation or not.”

Follow up Tweet “To be clear: this isn't a full-time, long-term bullpen assignment for Megill. The Mets want to keep him stretched out, whether in MLB or Triple-A. But they're going to use him as bullpen depth in the interim.”

I wonder if this means Megill is available today out of the pen
And that’s exactly where McGill belongs. Peterson too.
But what if this was a full-time, long-term bullpen assignment for Megill.
Good test. I’m sure will take a bit of trial & error to sort out but have depth now to get it sorted.
Megill tends be decent the first time through the batting order. Less so the second and third time around. Maybe a bullpen role would be better for him right now.
No 6 man rotation. Because I don’t want Megill anywhere near a down the stretch start. If anyone Butto but he’s thriving in the pen.
So hopefully this is the value of getting Blackburn.
Metric wise, megill and Blackburn are similar, but you could get more out of Tylor by putting him in the bullpen.
I think Tylor will be very dominate as a relief pitcher. Until he gets some better secondaries I think its where he makes the most sense.
W. Good move

Not a fan of this. I would rather just start Megill and use Blackburn how they used Houser in a mop up role.
