The biggest splash the New York Mets made this winter was the one that brought in a relief pitcher who missed almost all of last season. The one-year deal Brodie Van Wagenen signed Dellin Betances to is by far the most hyped addition. I can understand why.
The Mets needed some obvious bullpen upgrades. Betances not only does this, but he also gives the Mets a clear route to go in the ninth inning if Edwin Diaz has a repeat season.
In addition to adding Betances, the Mets made a few quieter transactions that I think are a little underrated.
