Jakob Junis could make sense for the Mets in 2025
With the calendar set to turn to 2025 in just a couple of days, the Mets could still use some help in their bullpen ahead of the upcoming season. And Jakob Junis, who declined his side of a mutual option for the 2025 season to become a free agent, could be a useful addition to the Mets’ staff.
Having spent the first five years of his career with the Royals and the following two years with the Giants, Junis was a free agent following the 2023 season, too. He wound up signing a one-year deal with that mutual option with the Brewers, and Milwaukee traded him to the Reds at the deadline in exchange for recent Mets pickup Frankie Montas.
