It has been a busy few days for the New York Mets. After the loss of Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso in free agency over the span of less than 30 hours or whatever it was, the next step was to go about replacing them. Plenty of Mets rumors have come out since with a heavy focus on a looming blockbuster trade with the San Diego Padres.
Plenty of Padres players have been specifically named as Mets targets. One of the better options is closer Mason Miller. Acquired by the Padres just last summer in a trade with the Athletics, it would be a bold way to replace Diaz as the team’s closer and brush Devin Williams back into a setup role.
