[Puma] A.J. Minter’s addition to the Mets bullpen likely means they won’t further pursue Tanner Scott, I am hearing. Team officials recently met with Scott, who is considered the top reliever on the free agent market.

1. I’m sure he wants to close which is hard for us to give him which stinks. But get minter up and moving around.

2. Damn. Can we bring back Stanek tho? loved his energy in the playoffs

3. Bummer.

4. I guess paying 2 relievers 20 mill AAV is insane. Just resign Iglesias, sign Flathery & trade for Guerrero Jr now and we good honestly

5. I’m good with this, mainly because I didn’t think Minter would be available for 2/$22 million. Giving $20 million AAV to a reliever is always going to be a big gamble with how volatile relief arms are. Obviously it would be cool to have both, but I can understand why the org doesn’t want to sink a combined >$50 million into three relievers between Diaz, Minter, and Scott.

6. If they add Stanek and/or D Rob this is a good ass pen. I’m into it.

7. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are pretty much done

8. May as well sign Pete

9. cant imagine soto is thrilled knowing our winter is mostly over

10. That’s fine. We don’t need two massive RP contracts on the books at the same time.

    The Mets did great last year getting innings from unexpected contributors. I’m willing to believe they can do it again this year.

11. Even tho Mets could be competitive on $$$ for Scott, being closer is not in play

12. Again the Mets go for the cheaper option!!

13. More bullpen! Allllll the bullpen.

14. Go get Stanek back you cowards

15. Go get Yates with that Alonzo money
