The New York Mets continue adding to their bullpen as they're nearing an agreement with veteran left-handed reliever, Jake Diekman, as first reported by Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Thursday.
He becomes an intriguing option as a potential bridge option in the eighth inning for closer Edwin Diaz. Across 14 appearances last season in which he pitched only the eighth inning, Diekman allowed just a single run. Bringing on the veteran southpaw allows the Mets to have another potential dependable left-handed option alongside Brooks Raley, who put forth a solid debut showing in Queens last season.
