The Mets will have multiple relief pitchers entering free agency at the conclusion of the World Series, with the possibility of All-Star closing pitcher Edwin Diaz opting out of his current contract. There is certainly a path for Jacques to find his way onto the active roster with a strong performance in spring training.

With uncertainty surrounding the bullpen and key decisions looming, the Mets will be evaluating every option heading into spring. For Jacques, the invite represents a chance to carve out a role on a team still searching for stability. If he can deliver consistency and command, he may become a valuable piece in New York’s 2026 relief group.
