Phil Maton
Phil Maton (2-1, 2.51 ERA with New York) was a solid midseason acquisition from Tampa Bay, but gave up runs in four of his six playoff outings. He isn’t a free agent, but the Mets have a team option to keep him for $7.75 million. That price might be too steep for a middle reliever, especially as Stearns works to build a bullpen his way.
Recommendation: Let go.
