Correction: this is actually a $5.2 million deal, not 5.1.

Matz will be back, and it's interesting to predict how the Mets will use him. We will know a lot more once we see which (and how many) other starting pitchers the Mets sign.

-RHP Paul Sewald
-RHP Ariel Jurado

Shreve, Jurado and Tropeano were all Brodie Van Wagenen acquisitions within the last year. Sewald had been in the organization since 2012.

Mazeika tendered a contract? Good for him
ReplyDeleteKinda surprised at Tropeano, very surprised at Shreve, one of the few (two?) lefties in the bullpen.
ReplyDelete69 - I was surprised by Shreve as well. Apparently the reasons why is that he was out of options and was due to make almost $2M in arbitration. Maybe they can bring him back as a Minor League Free Agent after the Rule 5 Draft on December 10th.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at Shreve's stats last night - he has a 2.3 K to BB ratio in his career - he does walk a lot of hitters. That was my main beef with the bullpen last year - they didn't throw enough strikes (or they threw too many not strikes).
ReplyDeleteSome of the other peripheral stats show a pitcher who had some good fortune last year. A quarter of the hits he gave up were home-runs.
I also suspect that Sandy is not done and there is a lefty reliever in their sights (Brad Hand?)
There is another free agent out there - I think I'll try to start a motion to hire Edgardo Alfonzo as the Mets bench coach! Without BVW, it's time to bring Fonzie back.
ReplyDelete69 - the other writers here are sick of me begging for Fonzie's return. But since you asked, I will have to start that up again. Thanks.
