Contract Status and Trade Rumors

Avoiding arbitration, Reed signed a 1 year deal worth $5,300,000.

Becoming a free agent for the 2018 season, this upcoming season will be a huge year for him. If he needs to be used as a closer, it’ll show a lot of teams, including the Mets, if he can handle it.

Being primarily used as a setup man, if Reed can mirror his 2016 campaign, a team will maybe offer him a contract and chance to close for them.

With the questions surrounding the bullpen for the Mets this season, I can’t see them dealing Reed during the year unless a lot goes wrong.
