According to Mets GM Sandy Alderson, the team is unlikely to pursue a higher-tier bullpen arm, reports Mike Puma on Twitter.
However, Alderson acknowledged that the team needs bullpen help, but mentioned in-house options such as Robert Gsellman and Seth Lugo, Marc Carig tweets.
With Jeurys Familia‘s arrest for domestic violence, the Mets closer could face suspension time, leaving the Mets in a tough situation at the back end of their bullpen.
The team sent a scout to Greg Holland‘s showcase, as was reported earlier, so the need to strengthen the ‘pen is known.
It’s still very early, but don’t expect the Mets to land top closer options Aroldis Chapman or Kenley Jansen in what is a very thin market for free agents.
