The Mets are no longer as rigid on finding a second lefty for the bullpen, writes Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
He adds that Michael Cuddyer and John Mayberry may be the only MLB deals the Mets give out this winter.
Sandy Alderson did say in December that the additions of LHP Scott Rice, who signed a minor league deal, and LHP Sean Gilmartin, a Rule 5 selection would be enough to compete with minor league relievers Darin Gorski, Dario Alvarez and Jack Leathersich in Spring Training.
Alderson also said he’s not worried if it turns out he goes into next season with Josh Edgin as his only lefty in the pen.
Additionally, addressing the shortstop situation today, Sandy Alderson said: “We’ve continued to have conversations, but nothing is likely to occur.”
I can see a few more minor league deals with Spring Training invites between now and February 18 when camp opens. But it’s looking increasingly apparent that the Mets have pretty much wrapped up their offseason, with only a potential trade of Dillon Gee remaining if they could find an offer they like.
