4 years agoIn addition to free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal, the New York Mets remain interested in 33-year-old free-agent reliever Jeremy Jeffress. Following a subpar 2019 season, the right-hander posted a 1.54 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 23 1/3 innings pitched for the Cubs in 2020. While Jeffress doesn't have the upside of Rosenthal, he still recorded 15 saves and 18 holds for the Brewers as recently as 2018 with a 1.29 ERA in 76 2/3 innings. With Seth Lugo (elbow) shut down for six weeks, the Mets are in need of another reliever. Jeffress could be a fallback option for the Mets if they fail to land Rosenthal. Since Trevor May will serve as the primary setup man to closer Edwin Diaz until Lugo returns, Jeffress would have limited fantasy value should the Mets sign him for the 2021 campaign.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
