The New York Mets have met with free agent relief pitcher Tanner Scott, according to The Athletic's Will Sammon.

Scott is considered one of MLB's top unsigned relievers after recording a career-high 22 saves during a 2024 campaign split between the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.

ESPN's Jeff Passan recently reported that Scott is expected to command "a four-year deal for $15 million or more a year" in free agency.

That contract would be outlier for Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, who has not offered a bullpen player multiple guaranteed seasons since joining the franchise in October 2023, as noted by Sammon.
