The New York Mets are in agreement on a one-year deal with right-handed relief pitcher Adam Ottavino, the New York Post reported Sunday.
The deal, pending a physical, is worth $4 million plus another $1 million in bonuses, per the report.
The news came a day after the Mets acquired starting pitcher Chris Bassitt from Oakland.
Ottavino, 36, went 7-3 with a 4.21 ERA in 69 appearances in 2021 with the Boston Red Sox. He’s 32-31 with 30 career saves in 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, Colorado Rockies, New York Yankees and Red Sox.
