After inking Edwin Díaz to a five-year deal to start their offseason, the Mets kept building out their bullpen with a series of moves that only look better now that Díaz is out for at least several months. A day after trading for Brooks Raley, the Mets signed David Robertson to a one-year, $10 million deal. And twelve days after that, the team brought back Adam Ottavino on a two-year, $14.5 million deal.
All three pitchers will appear in higher-leverage situations than they would have if Díaz were beginning the season alongside them.
