A three-year limit seems to be the hold up for the New York Mets on reuniting with Edwin Diaz. If they’re going to approach the rest of the offseason with the same limitation, we can probably mark off a few players from coming to Queens.
Is it doable to build a competitive team without handing anyone a deal of four or more years? They might need to hope someone settles for a 2025 Pete Alonso/Alex Bregman speciality with a high AAV and opt out after one year.
If the Mets are holding steady on a limit of no more than 3 years, they have five moves to make.
