The Mets will NOT acquire a lefty reliever

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.

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

Took Ollie for morbid amusement.

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?

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

I would be absolutely all in on Ollie Perez.

A Boy Named Seo Jan 07 2019 10:38 AM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

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.

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.

Funny how playing baseball computer games will mess with your head... in one of my OOTP iterations where I wound up twenty years in the future, Tony Watson had an enormously long career, blowing away Jesse O's games pitched record. So in my head he's like 45 and still pitching, even though he's only in his early 30s.

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

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

Screwballer! (IIRC)

Lefty Specialist Jan 09 2019 06:39 PM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

I just hope he's a Specialist.

Methead Jan 10 2019 03:36 PM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

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

Good stat on Avilan: [TWEET]https://twitter.com/mike_petriello/status/1083493386206748676[/TWEET]

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 Jan 10 2019 04:03 PM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

Luis Avilan from the bottom of my heart

LWFS Jan 16 2019 08:41 PM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

Pretty savvy get.

A Boy Named Seo Jan 28 2019 04:30 PM Re: Predict the lefty reliever we are prob gonna acquire

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.
