The Mets are reportedly finalizing a deal with free agent reliever Luke Weaver, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The contract is expected to be a two-year, $22 million agreement, mirroring the terms agreed upon by the Phillies with Brad Keller earlier in the day. Weaver, a 32-year-old right-hander, has been a key member of the Yankees' bullpen over the past two seasons, posting a 2.89 ERA in 2024 with impressive strikeout numbers. Despite a less-than-stellar 2025 campaign, Weaver's performance in 2024 and his ability to induce chase and whiff make him an attractive addition to the Mets' bullpen. With Weaver as the primary setup man and Devin Williams as the closer, the Mets' bullpen is taking shape, featuring returning left-handed veterans Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter, as well as Huascar Brazobán and Adbert Alzolay. This move is seen as a strategic addition to support the team's new closer, Devin Williams, who is renowned for his exceptional chase and whiff rates.
