That begins with re-signing their own free agents, including Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>Alonso is going to dominate the headlines, but re-signing Diaz might be as important as any move the Mets make.<\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2019s Joel Reuter recently projected Diaz would sign a four-year deal worth $88 million in free agency this offseason, which should fit perfectly in the Mets\u2019 payroll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe $20.4 million AAV on Diaz\u2019s last contract was the largest in MLB history for a reliever, and he is expected to opt out of the final two years and $37 million of that deal in search of more guaranteed money,\u201d Reuter wrote. \u201cA modest raise and two additional years should be an easy decision for the Mets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This level of contract would seemingly fit Diaz perfectly. There aren\u2019t many relievers in baseball worth over $20 million a season, but given the righty\u2019s dominance, he\u2019s earned it.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets need to do everything in their power to keep him in Queens for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>When he\u2019s at his best, there\u2019s no better closer in baseball. If the Mets are serious about winning, they need to commit to Diaz again this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets fell short of the postseason in embarrassing fashion last season, so this offseason is going to be more important than ever.
