The Mets have signed righty veteran reliever Adam Ottavino to a two-year, $14.5 million deal with an opt-out after the first year, pending a physical, according to reporting from several outlets.
With this move, the Mets have brought back the second-best member of their 2022 bullpen to complement now long-term closer Edwin Díaz and setup man David Robertson, who the Mets signed earlier this month. Armed with his patented sweeping “frisbee” slider, the 37-year-old has been consistently good in his dozen years in the majors, but 2022 was one of—if not the—best season of his career.
