been with the Mets since 2023, made 148 appearances for the team and fought back from Tommy John surgery to reestablish himself as one of the league\u2019s strongest relievers.<\/p>\n<p>And as he told reporters <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/07\/30\/sports\/mets-capitalize-on-stellar-nolan-mclean-start-with-late-rally\/\">following the 4-2 win<\/a>, he couldn\u2019t help but reflect on his Mets tenure as he went to the bench following his latest, and perhaps last outing for the club.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter
