The free agent market finally seems to be moving, and with less than three weeks before pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report, we may start to see more action. The Royals were fairly aggressive early on in the off-season, but seem to be waiting out the market to find a good deal at this point.
Dayton Moore has already re-signed reliever Greg Holland on a one-year deal, and brought back Wade Davis and Ervin Santana on minor league deals to compete for bullpen roles. But with a young and inexperienced bullpen with Scott Barlow, Josh Staumont, and Kyle Zimmer, he may look for some more depth in the free agent market.
Three relief pitchers who could help the Mets: Jeremy Jeffress, Alex Colomé, and Darren O’Day

Now that Brad Hand, who had been linked to the Mets in free agency, has signed with the division rival Nationals, we figure it’s a good time to take another look at some of the relief pitching options on the free agent market. The Mets’ bullpen could still use some help, as there are a lot of question marks after the team’s top three relievers right now. And rather than run down the list of every single one of the many options still on the market, we’ll highlight a few relievers at a time.
