Before the Mets’ star closer departed Citi Field for the final time this past season, general manager Billy Eppler told him he was wanted back by the franchise.
Eppler has declined to say what the cutoff will be for the 2023 payroll.
“Getting somebody to anchor the back end of our bullpen and somebody who is reliable and the manager trusts him, the fans trust him, the owner trusts him, I think everybody feels good when he comes running into the game, so I think everybody feels good about it,” Eppler said.It’s a bullpen under construction, with Drew Smith the only other reliever under club control who pitched significant innings in 2022.
