New York Mets reportedly in “deep talks” with one of the top free agent relievers

The New York Mets‘ bullpen had a disappointing 2020. Dellin Betances didn’t bounce back like the team had envisioned (7.71 ERA and 4.91 FIP in 11.2 innings,) Steven Matz and Robert Gsellman both had an ERA over 9.00, and Seth Lugo, the best reliever in the last few years, had to be moved to the rotation.

New Mets’ owner Steve Cohen and his right hand Sandy Alderson have both said they will spend if it means upgrading the roster, and so far, they have been connected with virtually every major free agent available in the market.
