At one point during December’s Winter Meetings, it looked like the Dodgers were hot on the trail of reliever Dellin Betances, but once Los Angeles snagged righty Blake Treinen, it appeared that the interest in Betances may have subsided.
Back in November, it seemed as if the Mets were in the driver’s seat to land the 31-year-old Brooklyn native. It’s no secret that Betances is friends with new skipper Carlos Beltran and that he would probably prefer to remain in New York; but it may get a little difficult for the Metropolitans, especially if they find themselves in a bidding war with division rival Philadelphia.
