While the baseball world awaits word on Carlos Correa’s situation with the Mets, the Amazin’s are taking care of other business. The team announced on Tuesday that Adam Ottavino’s one-year deal to return to Flushing is official.
Ottavino’s deal is reportedly for $7.25 million with a player option to return in 2024 potentially totaling $14.5 million over two years. The right-handed reliever is coming off of one of the best seasons of his career where he recorded a 2.06 ERA over 66 appearances with the Mets.
“Adam has a long track record of success,” Mets GM Billy Eppler said in a statement. “He was a staple for us late in games last season, which shows the trust we have in him. We’re excited to have him back.”
