In case you had any lingering doubts about the Mets going for it again in 2023 after losing out on Jacob deGrom, check Steve Cohen’s bank account.
Cohen’s Mets continued their recent spending spree Thursday night, re-signing the invaluable Brandon Nimmo to an eight-year, $162 million deal and then inking veteran reliever David Robertson to a one-year, $10 million pact.
Those deals followed a winter meetings in which the Mets signed Justin Verlander to a two-year, $86.6 million contract and Jose Quintana to a two-year, $26 million deal, plus acquired lefty reliever Brooks Raley in a trade with the Rays. And those are all in addition to beginning free agency by re-signing Edwin Diaz to a five-year, $102 million contract.
For those book-keeping at home, that’s $386.6 million in free-agent deals just this offseason.
