Part 4/7:
Sneaky Reliever Signing: Adbert Alzolay
In another unexpected move, the Mets have reportedly signed reliever Adbert Alzolay to a two-year minor league deal. Previously with the Chicago Cubs, Alzolay is recovering from Tommy John surgery, making him a low-risk, high-reward addition for New York. Prior to his injury, he had shown promising numbers, including a near-2.70 ERA and a solid strikeout rate.
This signing reflects the Mets' strategy of investing in players with potential upside, even if they require some time to reach their full capabilities.
