The Mets could find themselves in need of an extra bullpen arm, with the frightening injury to superstar closer Edwin Díaz at the end of Wednesday night’s World Baseball Classic game between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Even before Díaz’s apparent leg injury, New York was reportedly kicking the tires on veteran lefty Zack Britton, a former Orioles and Yankees pitcher who had some of his best years under Mets manager Buck Showalter while in Baltimore.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets were already debating the merits of signing the 35-year-old, and are set to attend his upcoming pitching showcase in the Miami area.
