Analysis:
The 26-year-old righty took advantage of his opportunity as the Mets' closer last season, notching 43 saves to become the third-most prolific closer in baseball for the 2015 campaign. He'll enjoy a significant pay raise based on the merits of his impressive effort in 2015, going up to $4.1 million from $523,925. Familia figures to enter spring training with a strong hold on the closer's role.
