The New York Mets have reportedly made signing a left-handed reliever their top priority and hope to do so by the time the Winter Meetings conclude in less than three weeks, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.
Puma notes that the Mets aren't entering the Andrew Miller sweepstakes. Instead, they are focusing their attention on second-tier options such as Craig Breslow, Joe Beimel and Phil Coke. A reunion with Dana Eveland is also a possibility.
2013 and 2014 season combined:
Pitcher | IP | ERA | WHIP | SO-BB |
---|---|---|---|---|
Breslow | 114 | 3.79 | 1.47 | 70-46 |
Beimel | 45 | 2.20 | 1.17 | 25-14 |
Coke | 96.1 | 4.48 | 1.58 | 71-41 |
Eveland | 27.1 | 2.63 | 1.09 | 27-6 |
Currently, New York has Josh Edgin as the lone lefty in the pen.
