Multiple reports say the Mets are in hot pursuit of reliever Darren O’Day, along with pretty much every other team is baseball. While O’Day would look good in the blue and orange (again!), he is a luxury the Mets cannot afford.
Those reports say O’Day is looking for a four-year deal in the $26 million-to-$36 million range. And with so many teams apparently wanting him, do not be surprised if he price does not go even higher.
If the Mets had an unlimited budget, or even a higher one, it would make sense to sign him.
