As the MLB free agency period heats up, the New York Mets are turning their attention to bolstering their bullpen, particularly looking into free-agent pitcher Jonathan Loáisiga. This comes amid speculations around potential trade maneuvers, particularly involving Yankees’ left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet and superstar outfielder Juan Soto. Mets executives have been reported as keen on Loáisiga due to his impressive performance during the past two seasons with the Yankees, where he compiled a 3.24 ERA and recorded 85 strikeouts over 81.1 innings. A source close to the Mets stated, ‘He would add significant depth to our relief options and not only has the velocity but the experience in high-pressure situations.’ Meanwhile, reports suggested that the Mets are not only aiming for Loáisiga but also engaging in discussions with the Yankees regarding a potential trade for Crochet, who has been solid in his role but faced injuries in recent seasons. The Mets are noted for their aggressive approach this offseason, which includes rebuilding their roster for a stronger 2024 campaign. With the trade market heating up, the possibility of acquiring players like Crochet or even exploring deeper trades that could include talents like Soto has the fanbase buzzing with excitement. The Mets are reportedly ready to make competitive offers to improve their chances of clinching a playoff spot next season.
