The New York Mets have opted to re-sign Ryne Stanek for one year, pivoting from their talks with Kenley Jansen, who sought a closing position. Jansen, at 447 saves, is pursuing the 500-save milestone but lacks a clear closing opportunity with the Mets, who have established their ninth-inning role. Other teams, including the Tigers, Blue Jays, and Cubs, are interested in acquiring a closer, reflecting the competitive demand for bullpens this season. The Mets' choice may keep their roster flexible for other strategic decisions, such as a potential Pete Alonso return.
The Mets initially pursued Kenley Jansen for their bullpen before settling on Ryne Stanek, primarily due to Jansen's desire for a closing role.
With 447 saves, Kenley Jansen is fourth on the all-time list, aiming to reach the 500-save milestone—but has limited opportunities with the Mets.
