Okay... the last position to evaluate... the pen.
Pitchers under contract for 2022:
Trevor May: $7.75mil
Edwin Diaz: $7mil in 2021
Robert Gsellman: $1.3mil in 2021
Drew Smith: $574K in 2021
That's it...
Need at least 8...
So, who do you add or sign?

Hi Mack
Seth Lugo
Miguel Castro
Reid- Foley
Loup, Lugo, Castro. After those, I am open to signing the best. I hope Bryan Metoyer is ready mid-2022 and Eric Orze early 2022.
These Ideas
Three from your list of signed relievers: May, Diaz, and Smith with option idea of making Drew Smith a possible 6 or 7 starter if needed too.
I trade Robert Gsellman for one simple reason. He has been very good in seasons past relieving, but of more recent he has sort of become the forgotten man in the Mets bullpen. To his advantage, I would include Robert in a trade package so that he may regain his mojo and prolong his career. Just a good idea for both sides really.
Re-signs:
Aaron Loup as the fourth definitely, and Miguel Castro as the fifth.
After this:
I might bring guys like Arodys Vizcaino, Josh Walker, Adam Oller, and Justin Dillon, to see what they have. Plus, where does Carlos Carrasco fit into the pitching staff. It should depend on his total recovery first.
Addition by subtraction, trade Diaz to Yanks for Gary Sanchez and a kid reliever.
The pitcher who could have been the Mets best closer...if they didn't use him in the 7th inning. Aaron Loup.
Bob W
Bob W. Loup was SOUPER
But would Loup have excelled in the same way as the closer? Who knows. What we know is that he was excellent in the role he was put in.
I really hope they re-sign him.
Not a huge Lugo fan.
Wouldn't complain if they brought Familia back.
R 1969, Lugo has done all right for a former 34th rounder, though.
Familia - lots of fan hate. Me? A guy goes 9-4, I'm largely not complaining.
No one has brought up the ultimate secret weapon: Jake deGrom as 9th inning closer. Would he allow a run the whole year?
