Adam Ottavino News
Former New York Mets reliever Adam Ottavino has declined his $6.75 million player option with the club for the 2024 season and will become a free agent. The reliever will be in search of a new multi-year deal on the open market as $4 million of his $6.75 player option was to be deferred. The 37-year-old should garner significant interest on the open market as he is coming off his second straight excellent season with the Mets. Ottavino worked to a healthy 3.21 ERA across 66 appearances in 2023, just one season after tossing a sterling 2.06 ERA across another 66 appearances with the Mets. A veteran of 664 career big-league appearances, the right-hander owns a 3.42 ERA across 13 seasons spent with the Cardinals, Rockies, Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets.
New York Mets relief pitcher Adam Ottavino gave up two runs on two hits and a walk with one strikeout but held on for his 12th save of the year in Game 1 of Saturday's twin bill with the Philadelphia Phillies. Ottavino, brought on to protect a three-run lead, nearly spoiled a great Tylor Megill start. Brandon Marsh split the left-center field gap for a ground rule RBI double across before Weston Wilson snuck an RBI single up the middle. Ottavino struck out Jake Cave looking before grooving a fastball for Cristian Pache to get under it for a relieving flyout. It always feels like an adventure when Ottavino takes the mound, but the 37-year-old helped fill in as closer after July's David Robertson trade. He totes a 3.21 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 62:29 K:BB with 12 saves in 61 2/3 frames. The right-hander has a 2024 player option.
New York Mets relief pitcher Adam Ottavino picked up his 11th save of the season in Monday's 2-1 win over the Marlins. Ottavino came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by one and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. The veteran has pitched well all season and has done a nice job in the closer's role, converting all but three save opportunities with a 2.87 ERA. It remains to be seen how many more save opportunities the Mets may have this season, but Ottavino is worth rostering in at least roto leagues for the final few weeks.
