According to reporting from Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Mets had a meeting with free agent reliever Tanner Scott. Scott is widely considered to be the top remaining free agent reliever available, ranking 14th on MLB Trade Rumors’ Top 50 Free Agents list. The 30-year-old lefty is likely to receive a multi-year deal; MLB Trade Rumors predicts he will get four years, $56 million.
Drafted by the Orioles, Scott’s career really took off the past couple of seasons with the Marlins and he was named to his first All-Star Team last season before being dealt to Padres at the deadline.
