Ottavino is back
I thought they'd had it with this guy and his incessant letting-the-other-team-stealing.

Otto back to make more memories
SNY saying Mets and Adam Ottavino have signed a deal for about $4.5 million -- about $2 million less than the option he turned down.

Hopefully he is spending the winter working on a pickoff move.

Re: Ottavino is back
Good signing especially with Robertson being off the market now.

Re: Ottavino is back
Certainly helps but this is still a bad bullpen getting to Diaz.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.
Re: Ottavino is back
Good move. Diaz/Ottavino/Raley could be a great 'pen. Then after that, it's going to be complete and total calamity, like it was in 2023. Reed Garrett is still on the roster, for crying out loud. And Raley was kind of a surprise, but let's hope he can keep it together. Either way, Ottavino is a good one.

Re: Ottavino is back
I expect he will strengthen the back end of the bullpen.

Re: Ottavino is back
He helps, a little. And the money he just signed for is non-deferred, which apparently makes it worth more in the long run than what he turned down.

Re: Ottavino is back
I was relieved when Ottavino walked and indifferent at best now that's back. I fully acknowledge that he's a pretty good pitcher, has the right experience for this team, etc. But probably no pitcher in baseball had his drawbacks exposed more glaringly in the New Stealing Era.
