As the GM Meetings continue, Will Sammon reports that the Mets are looking to add depth to their bullpen by way of some of the best free-agent relievers currently on the market.
It seems that Devin Williams will continue as the Mets’ closer. David Stearns also has indicated interest in bringing back some of the relievers who ended the season on a high note, including Dedniel Núñez, Daniel Duarte, and Nate Lavender. In addition, Reed Garrett is expected to return at the beginning of the 2027 season.
However, sources have said that the Mets have also expressed interest in Alex Vesia, most recently from the Dodgers, and Tim Hill, who played in 2026 with the Yankees. That being said, Vesia, who did not receive a qualifying offer from the Dodgers, has received interest from many teams. Hill also did not receive a qualifying offer.
Among top relievers, Raisel Iglesias is also available, as are Bryan Abreu and Jason Adam. Despite Adrian Morejon being a strong candidate and a likely good fit, it is less anticipated that the Mets will pursue him due to the fact that he did receive a qualifying offer from the Padres.
