"Adam Ottavino Rejoins Mets on 1-Year Deal"

The New York Mets are set to sign right-hander Adam Ottavino to a one-year, $4.5MM contract pending a physical, marking his return for a third consecutive season. Ottavino declined a larger player option with concerns about the club's future, but recent acquisitions and a new manager have given him confidence in the team's chances. The veteran reliever is expected to provide stability in the bullpen, which struggled last season, and will likely share set-up duties with other pitchers. This signing adds Ottavino to the list of recent bullpen arms coming off the market in MLB.

Mets' Expensive Roster Fails Again Under Showalter's Management.

Despite having top bullpen arms available, Mets manager Buck Showalter chose not to use them in a crucial game against the Phillies, resulting in a 7-6 loss. Setup man Adam Ottavino was available but only to be used in extra innings, while closer David Robertson was held back for a save situation in the ninth. Left-hander Brooks Raley was unavailable due to pitching on consecutive days. Rookie Josh Walker and struggling reliever Jeff Brigham were called upon instead, leading to a blown three-run lead and the Mets' 15th loss in 20 games. Showalter defended his bullpen usage and hopes to have his top arms available for the next game against the Brewers.

Mets' Scherzer struggles in return from suspension, adds to team worries.

Max Scherzer had a disastrous return from his 10-game suspension, failing to complete even four innings and giving up six runs to the Detroit Tigers in the Mets' 8-1 loss in the nightcap of a doubleheader. The Mets lost the first game 6-5 after Adam Ottavino blew an eighth-inning lead. Scherzer's spin rates were down, and his velocity was also down as he worked to ensure the back discomfort that had bothered him before his previous start wouldn't become an issue. The Mets will try to avoid an embarrassing sweep when Justin Verlander takes the ball for his debut with the team on Thursday.

Mets face injury woes with Diaz and Nimmo.

The loss of Edwin Diaz due to a season-ending knee injury may not be disastrous for the Mets bullpen, as David Robertson and Adam Ottavino can potentially fill in as closers. However, the team will need to figure out who replaces them in the setup role. Tylor Megill may be the first choice to replace Jose Quintana in the rotation, who is expected to be out until at least July 1. Max Scherzer suggested that more front-line starters might be willing to pitch in the World Baseball Classic if the tournament was scheduled in the middle of the season. Francisco Alvarez is receiving high marks for his work behind the plate this spring and may see playing time over the summer.
