\"\"I couldn’t be happier the Mets were able to retain Brandon Nimmo<\/strong><\/a>, who was something of a small superstar last year and a rare centerfield commodity on the market. His 8-year deal would practically assure he stays a Met throughout his career even if he’s destined to wind up in left field.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Mets also added veteran reliever David Robertson<\/strong> to a 1-year deal, shoring up a bullpen that appears to be losing Trevor May, Seth Lugo<\/strong> and maybe also Adam Ottavino<\/strong> though it doesn’t appear that any of those palookas have a deal with someone else yet. But Trevor Williams<\/strong> just signed with Washington. Drew Smith<\/strong> will be back.<\/p>\n

The new bullpen will have a bunch of new faces. There’s John Curtiss<\/strong> who was signed last offseason, spent 2022 recovering from elbow surgery, and still hasn’t been assigned a number.<\/p>\n

\"\"Also on the 40 are brief visitors from last season Bryce Montes de<\/strong> Oca<\/strong> (63), Yoan Lopez<\/strong> (44), and Stephen Nogosek <\/strong>(85). Plus new guys awaiting number assignments: Jeff Brigham, Zach Greene<\/strong> (pinched from the Yankees in Rule 5), Stephen Ridings<\/strong> (waiver claim from the Yankees); Brooks<\/strong> Raley<\/strong> (trade with Tampa Bay), Tayler Saucedo<\/strong> (waiver claim from Toronto), and William Woods<\/strong> (waiver claim from Atlanta).<\/p>\n

Elieser Hernandez<\/strong> might fulfill the Trevor Williams role. He came over with Brigham from the Marlins in a skirt-Rule-5 trade that cost the Mets fancypants prospect Jake Magnum.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Mets already list Robertson as No. 30–that’s been his figure for most of his career and supersedes what we were discussing below about Raley taking 30. As pointed out in the below comments, Raley is now listed in 43, most recently belonging to unforgettable infielder Yolmer Sanchez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
