right-hander Dellin
Betances...Clubs typically must resolve a player’s DFA status within seven
days..it seems that the holidays delayed the resolution of this particular DFA...
He’ll now have the opportunity to talk with other clubs as a result of that
technicality, but it’s certainly plausible that he’ll return to the Mets on a
new minor league pact.”

Tony Dibrell really struggled in 2019 in AA. 2020 is a new season but he may well follow the Familia path to the bullpen if he is to make the majors.
If I were Haggerty, I would have my agent scan the major league teams to try to find which team he would best have a chance of latching onto in 2020. Nothing like big league pay.
One thing about Stroman.
I wasn't a big fan of him out of school and would argue this point with David many times.
