Mets linked to Marlins star reliever in early free agency projection
SNY’s Danny Abriano had this to say about the state of the Mets’ relief unit and how they could bolster its strength with the addition of Scott in the free agent market next winter:
“With Edwin Diaz, Dedniel Nunez, newly-converted reliever Jose Butto, and Phil Maton, the Mets have the makings of a solid bullpen,” Abriano said. “But the above pitchers make up just one-half of the eight-man relief corps that is otherwise full of question marks…Feasible targets could include White Sox reliever John Brebbia, Jacob Barnes of the (Washington Nationals), and Marlins closer Tanner Scott. All three are set to be free agents after this season.”
