One of the first New York Mets rumors to come out after the loss of Edwin Diaz involves the reunion with another free agent. It’s not Pete Alonso. It’s not Tyler Rogers. It’s not even giving Chris Bassitt a two-year deal to see what he can do as one of two additional starting pitchers added to the roster.
No, this one goes against what the Mets have preached. According to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Ragazoo, the Mets and Starling Marte might not have quit each other yet.
In a world of run prevention being a priority, why not re-sign a right-handed outfielder who could barely play the outfield last year after a terrible season in right field the season prior?
