The Mets’ search for bullpen options includes a former All-Star who recently became a free agent.
Jeremy Jeffress, who was released by the Brewers on Sunday, is on the Mets’ radar, according to an industry source. The right-handed reliever was 3-4 with a 5.02 ERA in 48 appearances for Milwaukee this season after getting selected to the All-Star Game in 2018.
The Mets, Phillies and Reds have shown the most interest in Jeffress at this point, according to a source. Jeffress has sought a deal that would guarantee him a contract for 2020. It’s unclear if the Mets are willing to make such a commitment.
