The New York Mets are coming off a very disappointing season this year. After adding Juan Soto, among others, they missed the postseason while the Cincinnati Reds danced into October. As a result, the Mets entered the offseason with a newfound sense of urgency.
To kick off their offseason, the Mets reportedly agreed to a deal with New York Yankees closer Devin Williams. After adding Williams, the Mets could dive back into free agency to add more talent.
Bleacher Report’s Erik Beaston recently predicted the Mets would sign star closer Edwin Diaz to a massive four-year contract this winter.
“A one-two punch of Williams and DÃaz would certainly provide the Mets with one of the best reliever situations in the game, especially if the former can rediscover his level of play from his days in Milwaukee, where current Mets and former Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns watched him become one of the best closers in the game,” Beaston wrote. “The question is whether New York and DÃaz can find middle ground on contract length, as the latter has made it clear that he is looking for five years and the team is looking for something more in the range of three.”
Re-signing Diaz should be one of the Mets’ top priorities this winter. He would help form a dominant duo at the backend of games in Queens.
Diaz has been a star in New York for the last few years, and he’s coming off a dominant campaign this year. Securing him on a new deal would be a dream come true for Mets fans.
