The Mets are adding lefty relievers to their depth chart. Another is worth consideration.
Richard Lovelady is coming back to the New York Mets, at least for a part of the offseason. Signed to a major league deal, exact details of the contract aren’t known but we can assume there’s a strong chance it’s a split deal. On a split contract, he’d earn a larger salary when in the majors versus in the minors. The benefit of this is it typically pays a player more during their time in the minor leagues, adding some incentive for them to sign.
