Mets pitcher Carlos Torres is a lock to be in the team's bullpen when it breaks camp, ESPNNewYork.com reports.
Torres is out of options and would have to clear waivers in order to be shipped to the minors. He'll serve out of the team's bullpen while being available for spot-start duty in 2014. Torres went 4-6 with a 3.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB ratio in 86 1/3 innings over 33 games (nine starts) last season.
