Danny Young, signed to a minor league deal in January, successfully made it onto the Mets' NLCS roster after being promoted from Triple-A. His journey exemplifies how low-cost signings can yield significant contributions to the team's success.

Danny Young struggled in relief during Game 4, giving up three runs in the eighth inning. His performance contributed to the thinning crowd at Citi Field, as frustrated fans began to leave early amid the Mets' mounting deficit.

Danny Young, a former Brave, has made appearances for Atlanta in the previous two seasons, boasting an impressive 0.82 ERA in nine career outings. Although he hasn’t pitched in the postseason yet, he is on the Mets' postseason roster, qualifying him for this list of former Braves still in contention for a championship.

Danny Young is one of the two left-handed relievers in the Mets' bullpen, and there is a possibility he could be left off the NLCS roster if Jeff McNeil is ready to return. Given that Young has yet to appear in the postseason, the team may opt to retain him for his left-handed options, especially considering the flexibility McNeil brings. Keeping Young could also allow the Mets to maintain rookie infielder Luisangel Acuna on the roster, enhancing their defensive capabilities and speed on the base paths.

Danny Young is one of the few Mets relievers who enters the crucial Game 3 against the Brewers completely fresh, highlighting the strain on the bullpen as the team navigates a demanding playoff schedule.
