Philadelphia Phillies fans probably understand Seranthony Dominguez better than any fan base in baseball, as he has the ability to be very good at times but can also struggle at others.
The Phillies, unfortunately, found that out during the 2024 season, before he was moved to the Baltimore Orioles. Since then, Dominguez has also been with the Toronto Blue Jays and threw the baseball at a somewhat decent level in 24 games with them.
As a free agent again this winter, the 31-year-old should have a decent market. When examining potential landing spots for the veteran, Josue De Jesus of Rising Apple believes that Dominguez could be an option for the New York Mets, a team rumored to be interested in adding a few bullpen arms.
“Bullpen volatility is a constant in baseball, making Seranthony Domínguez a fascinating Tier 5 target for the Mets’ relief corps. The hard-throwing righty pitched 62.2 innings across 67 games in 2025, registering a solid 3.16 ERA and an encouraging 1.28 WHIP. He continued to rely on elite strikeout ability, punching out 79 batters, which translates to an exceptional K/9 rate of over 11.3 for the season.
“However, Domínguez’s history is marred by injury-related shutdowns and command inconsistencies, explaining his Tier 5 status. His career ERA stands at a strong 3.50, backed by a phenomenal 10.6 career K/9,” he wrote.
If there was one issue for the Mets a year ago, it was on the mound, and that’s something they will have to fix.
It’s also possible that the Phillies could be impacted by that.
Seeing Dominguez find success in New York would sting, but he had a solid career in Philadelphia.
