In what has been a disastrous first season with the New York Mets, Frankie Montas opened up about being moved to the bullpen. In an exclusive interview with Joe Pantorno of amNewYork, Montas admitted that he is "OK" with being moved to the bullpen. Manager Carlos Mendoza announced this decision on Tuesday.

Speaking for the first time since the announcement was made that top prospect Nolan McLean would be taking his spot in the rotation, Montas expressed his feelings regarding the change.

Montas entered Thursday with a 3-2 record and a 6.38 ERA over eight appearances, including seven starts. His lone relief appearance came last Saturday in Milwaukee when the Mets used an opener in front of Montas, who then surrendered three runs (one earned) in three innings.
