Guzman

Guzman made 35 appearances at the upper levels with the Mets in 2024 while finishing with a 3.88 ERA and 51/26 K/BB over his 48 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander will need to be added to the 40-man roster to make appearances with New York in 2025, and that doesn’t seem terribly likely at this stage of his career.

Guzman is a hard-throwing righty reliever who registered a respectable 4.67 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 93/48 K/BB ratio across 86 2/3 innings (40 appearances, one start) this past season across three levels in the Cubs’ minor league system. The 25-year-old righty wrapped up the year in Triple-A and could get a shot in the big leagues for the Mets at some point during the 2024 season.

The 24-year-old right-hander hurled three scoreless innings without a strikeout during Grapefruit League play with the Tigers. He has only logged 1 1/3 innings above High-A ball in his five-year minor league career and registered a 4.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 89/34 K/BB ratio at High-A West Michigan during the 2022 campaign.

Guzman has yet to advance to the upper minors after spending the last five seasons in the Tigers’ system. The 23-year-old righty posted a serviceable 4.65 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 102/46 K/BB ratio across 98 2/3 innings (23 appearances, 22 starts) at Low-A Lakeland last season. He’ll gobble up innings as minor-league starting pitching depth this upcoming season.
