https://t.co/8JGL1Iz4JX I spoke to Adam Ottavino, who told me that he tried to redo his contract to find a way to stay a Met -- but the club was not interested.

What an interesting way for Ottavino to position his contract talks. He tried to find a way to stay a Met? He had a player option! If he wanted to stay a Met, it was 100% in his control.
Rather, he wanted an extension and the Mets rightly balked. He provided good results and for that, we thank him. But there's no way the Mets should have given him a two-year deal given his age and his FIP.
Perfect analysis once again. Thanks for the comment.
