The Mets have been named among the teams interested in a closer carrying a $110 million price tag, according to Sporting News. The report comes as New York continues to navigate the fallout from its ongoing issues with star reliever Edwin Diaz.
Sporting News notes that it remains unclear whether the Mets will actually push to land the pricey arm, given the recent turbulence surrounding Diaz. Front office decisions on bullpen spending have taken on extra scrutiny as the team weighs how much more to invest in high-dollar relief pitching.
No additional financial or roster details beyond the suitor report have been confirmed. The situation is expected to be a storyline to watch as New York shapes its bullpen strategy going forward.
