Mets officially announce that they signed Edwin Diaz. "Díaz, 28, put up a 1.31 ERA (9 ER/62.0 IP) with 32 saves and 118 strikeouts across 61 appearances in 2022, earning his second career All-Star nod."

NY Post: Deferred payments were critical to Mets getting Edwin Diaz deal done. "Eppler said at the GM Meetings. 'We needed to have that in there for the CBT [competitive balance tax] purposes.'”

Mets claimed Tayler Saucedo on waivers form the Blue Jays. "Saucedo, 29, held left-handed hitters to a .182 (8-44) average in 33 appearances for the Blue Jays over the last two seasons. This season with Triple-A Buffalo, he recorded a 2.37 ERA and a 13.3 K/9 ratio in 20 games, striking out 28 in 19.0 innings."


Mets Junkies had more videos of Taylor Saucedo in their post.

Mets declined Mychal Givens option.  He is now a Free Agent.

Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio still has lots of upside despite being overshadowed. Mauricio is still just 21 years old, and is playing well this offseason in the Dominican Winter League.

NY Post: Scott Boras: ‘Majority’ of MLB teams have checked in on Brandon Nimmo.

Joel Sherman NY Post: Japanese stars Koudai Senga, Masataka Yoshida will draw plenty of MLB interest.  "[Koudai Senga] will turn 30 in January, is a three-time All-Star and went 11-6 with a 1.94 ERA this year with 156 strikeouts in 144 innings...Yoshida is among Japan’s best hitters with a lifetime slash line of .326/.419/.538. This season, it was .335/.447/.561, with 21 homers, 80 walks and 41 strikeouts."
