At the Zoom news conference to introduce José Quintana, Brooks Raley, and David Robertson, Mets’ GM Billy Eppler said about the team’s upcoming moves, “A lot of the heavy lifting is done. It doesn’t stop us from being opportunistic.” Okay, so this didn’t turn out to be strictly true, as less than a week later, the team opportunistically swooped in and [maybe] signed Carlos Correa [hopefully we will know more about this soon], but the sentiment at the time was sincere. It has been a banner offseason for the Mets who, in addition to [again, maybe] Correa, have signed Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga, and the aforementioned Quintana to fill their rotation, kept Edwin Díaz and Brandon Nimmo on long-term, lucrative nine-figure contracts, and added Raley and Robertson to fortify their bullpen.
