Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

[A Boy Named Seo]

Brody Van Permagrin has been methodically ticking off the boxes on the Mets shopping list (closer-y relievers, catcher, right-handed outfield bat, infield depth), but lefty reliever remains unchecked.



Predict, if you dare, who our last (most likely), major-ish acquisition will be.

[Guest 41Forever]

Is a Blevins reunion out of the question? Last year wasn't great, but does he get a chance to right the ship?

[kcmets]

Took Ollie for morbid amusement.

[Centerfield]

Here's the thing. The Mets have needed a solid left-handed reliever for years.



This year, we are supposedly all in. With Britton signing with the MFY's and Miller gone to St. Louis, the best options are off the table. I guess in theory Brodie could swing another trade, but these guys were available for just money. And in Miller's case, a pretty reasonable amount of money.



Even if by some miracle we sign Harper, we're going to rely on Daniel Zamora to get FFF in a tight spot?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm actually on the Zamora Bandwagon, not because I truly believe in him but because somebody has to have the role and he's somebody.



That said I'm all for mixing in a few other somebodies. Someone already brought up Ollie; I'd totally give him a MiLB deal.



Not breaking the bank on this shit though

[seawolf17]

I would be absolutely all in on Ollie Perez.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Damn, Ollie was really good last year. At 32.1 IP, he seems pretty strictly a LOOGY at this point, though, no?



My heart wants to vote for him, but my finger hasn't clicked it yet.

[smg58]

Ollie was strictly a LOOGY when we gave him that $36M extension.



I'll say a trade. Most likely Will Smith or Tony Watson from the Giants.

[Fman99]

Hector Santiago, late of the ChiSox, apparently has signed a minor league deal.

[ashie62]

Puma is implying the Mets are basically "out of cash" for salary so I am not expecting much.



Guess I can cross Pollack off

[Lefty Specialist]

I just hope he's a Specialist.

[Methead]

Apparently we signed Luis Avilan to a minor league deal today.

[bmfc1]

Good stat on Avilan:

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yah I'm the first to admit that I've shit on a lot of Brodie Van Clearancerack's acquisitions, but I really like this one. Surprised he could only get a minor league deal. And with the Mets of all teams!

[Frayed Knot]

Luis Avilan from the bottom of my heart

[LWFS]

Pretty savvy get.

[A Boy Named Seo]

One of you geniuses correctly guessed Justin Wilson, so congrats, you. You're a genius.



I wonder, too, about Blevins. I'd totally offer that guy a minor league contract. I'm certain he would say no, but let him say no.
