[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Dodgers' main backup left-hander Alex Vesia became a free agent in the off-season, and is expected to attract many teams to pursue him. According to a report from "The Athletic" senior reporter Will Sammon, the Mets have targeted Fecia.
Although the 30-year-old Fecia does not have triple-digit fireballs frequently, and the average speed of his four-seam fastball is only about 92 miles, but relying on the league's top vertical displacement, his fastball has an excellent upward channeling effect and can create a lot of swings. In recent years, Fecia has become an indispensable player in the Dodgers' bullpen, helping the Dodgers win two consecutive championships. He pitched 58 innings in 72 games this season, struck out 74 times, had an ERA of 2.64, and an ERA of +161.
The report quoted multiple major league sources as saying that the Mets are looking for bullpen reinforcement candidates, and the evaluation scope is quite extensive. Recently, it was reported that they have expressed interest in Fexia, who has become a free agent, and Yankees left pitcher Tim Hill; more than half of the major league teams have shown a willingness to recruit Fexia.
The report mentioned that the Mets signed former star closer Devin Williams to a three-year contract last offseason, but sent Luke Weaver to the Pirates before the trade deadline this year. They still need to add more relief pitchers who can get on the board in high-tension situations. The biggest bullpen player on the free market this year is Padres fireball left-hander Adrian Morejon, but since the Padres have made a qualifying offer to him, the Mets may not actively pursue him.
In addition, after this year's trade deadline, the Mets also unexpectedly found several available players in the bullpen, such as Daniel Duarte, Nate Lavender and Dedniel Núñez. These players are expected to become key players in the bullpen next season. Reed Garrett is also expected to return healthily next year. Mets president David Stearns said recently: "We will strengthen the bullpen, but I also like the pitchers currently in the lineup very much. I appreciate the scheduling flexibility of this lineup."
