The Mets are in the market for another hitter. That doesn’t mean general manager Billy Eppler isn’t able to multitask, though. New York is also looking for opportunities to add to its bullpen. One name that’s recently surfaced in trade rumors is Chicago White Sox closer, Liam Hendriks.
Metsmerized’s Mike Mayer reports the Mets as a team who has contacted Chicago about Hendriks. If this actually led to a trade, it’d give New York an unreal trio of bullpen arms for Buck Showalter to use.
Hendriks is entering the final guaranteed season of a three-year, $54 million deal (there’s a 2024 club option available).
