5 non-tendered players from other teams the Mets should sign

4) Kyle Finnegan, RP

2024 All-Star closer Kyle Finnegan was the subject of some trade rumors at the deadline last summer, but the Washington Nationals insisted on keeping him with an eye towards the future, so he stayed put. Four months later, the team decided they did not want to spend the projected $8.6 million for his contract next season, which opens the door now for somebody to add a quality arm to their bullpen.

Finnegan spent five seasons with the Nationals and he never had a season ERA above 3.76 or an ERA+ below 110. He was a consistent, above average reliever who became the team's closer about a couple of years ago.

He is best known for his fastball, which sat around 97 mph last season with an ability to touch 99, and a nasty split-finger pitch used to put away left-handed hitters.

Finnegan would be among the members of Carlos Mendoza's circle of trust to start next season if the Mets added him.

5) Ramon Laureano, OF

The Atlanta Braves found a hiden mid-season gem that helped what was a underachieving and bruised team make the playoffs, barely, in veteran outfielder Ramon Laureano. In 67 games with the Braves, Laureano slashed .296/.327/.505, hit 10 home runs, and had a 128 OPS+ in 226 plate appearances.

With Laureano projected to make around $6 million in arbitration next season, the Braves believed they could replace his production elsewhere, including the return of Ronald Acuna, Jr., who missed the last four months of the season with a torn ACL in his knee.

Laureano also has one of the best outfield arms in the game, as his arm strength ranked in the 90th percentile among all outfielders last season.

Mets fans are hoping they could land Juan Soto for the outfield, obviously, but Laureano would be a nice addition as a fourth outfielder for the Mets if they can't bring back Jesse Winker.
