As the New York Mets put the final touches on their offseason shopping list, a few loose ends need to be tied up first. It's widely expected that closer Edwin Diaz will opt out of the final two years of his contract. Should that happen, there's some thought that the Mets could look to make a change in order to have more room in the budget to attack other holes.
The free-agent closer market isn't too deep, however, and if the club were to pursue this path, they wouldn't want to see a huge drop-off in talent.
