The New York Mets solved their left-handed relief issues on Wednesday, by signing veteran southpaw Aaron Loup to a one-year contract. After losing Justin Wilson to free agency, the team needed at least one lefty out of the bullpen, as most of the options are right-handed: Edwin Diaz, Trevor May, Seth Lugo, Dellin Betances, Robert Gsellman, and Jeurys Familia, just to name a few.
The salary that Loup will receive from the New York Mets hasn’t been reported yet. He makes for a nice addition to a bullpen that lost its top target, Brad Hand, recently.
