The claim that DR has been run into the ground is a claim without merit.

In 83 Met games, DR has pitched in 33 games (37 innings)

Top save leaders in games:

Clase 41

Romano 36

Diaz 39

Doval 39

Bautista 37

Estevez 35

Pressley 37

Hader 32

He has not been run into the ground.

DR is not young, but he has not been over-used.

Ottavino has appeared in 37 games and 34 innings;

not a very high load. He is just not any good, as he has no idea where the ball is going.

His 11% walk rate is dangerously high and the reason for his ineffectiveness.

The trade means one of the really bad relievers is sent back to Syracuse. That is something.
