Another team has entered the Tanner Scott sweepstakes.
The New York Mets have reportedly met with the free-agent reliever, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic.
“The New York Mets’ pursuit of bullpen reinforcements differs somewhat from how they navigated the starting pitcher market,” Sammon wrote. “With relievers, they’re exploring the most expensive options available, and have met (likely via phone or video) with the top remaining free-agent option, Tanner Scott, league sources said.”
This doesn’t mean the Mets will sign the top available reliever, but they are looking to add one or two more relievers this winter.
