But Ottavino has positioned himself for a significant raise above the $4 million he earned last season and is believed to be seeking a multiyear deal. The Mets would prefer to avoid anything longer than one year for the veteran right-hander.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ottavino, 37, pitched to a 2.06 ERA in 66 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances for the club last season with 79 strikeouts in 65 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings.

A free-agent for the first time, the right-hander still hasn\u2019t heard from the Mets, according to sources. Lugo, 33, pitched to a 3.60 ERA in 62 appearances last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lugo hasn\u2019t been shy over the years in stating his desire to return to a starting role. But Lugo, according to sources, is open to negotiating with teams as either a starter or reliever. The Mets do not view Lugo as a starter, and there is a possibility he will command a multiyear deal in his next contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Injuries limited Trevor May\u2019s effectiveness over his two-year, $15.5 million contract, which expired after this past season. The 33-year-old last week tweeted what might have been a goodbye to Mets fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust thinking about how much I enjoyed saying \u2018Let\u2019s Go Mets\u2019 after every win and how much I miss it already,\u201d May tweeted. \u201cIf I don\u2019t get the opportunity to do it again, it really has been an honor to share it with you guys. I appreciate you all for allowing me to be a part of the ritual.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diaz became the highest-paid closer in major league history by agreeing to a five-year contract worth $102 million the day following the World <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a>\u2019 conclusion.

It\u2019s possible that Hernandez, 27, will fill the role Trevor Williams held last season as a swingman for the Mets. Brigham, 30, pitched to a 3.38 ERA in 16 appearances for the Marlins last season. Williams is a free agent who has been seeking a starting job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH7974359511&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Mets also acquired right-hander Stephen Ridings off waivers from the Yankees.

Building the strength foundation this offseason is paramount to allow him to be in position to contribute throughout the season.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Joely Rodriguez, in recent days, signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox worth $2 million. That eliminated the possibility of a reunion with the left-hander, who pitched with mixed results for the Mets after arriving in a spring training trade that sent Miguel Castro to the Yankees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the Mets go the trade route to fill their bullpen needs, the Tigers are seen by the industry as a team potentially willing to deal, with names such as Gregory Soto and Joe Jimenez at the forefront.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
