The Rockies and free-agent left-handed reliever Mike Dunn have agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal, according to multiple reports.
Instead, the Mets have been reaching out to free-agent relievers with big-league experience who are open to accepting a minor-league deal, such as J.P. Howell, Brad Ziegler, Boone Logan, Matt Belisle, Joe Blanton, Junichi Tazawa and Drew Storen.
In a year when Dunn gets a three-year deal, and LH reliever Brett Cecil gets a four-year, $30.5 million deal, free-agent Jerry Blevins is right to be asking for three years, as well.
