Adrian Morejon Emerges as Prime Free Agent Target for Mets Bullpen

Free agent left-hander Adrian Morejon enters his age-28 season after posting a stellar 2.83 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts in 86 innings across 76 appearances for the Padres in 2026. His elite advanced metrics, nearly 100 mph fastballs, and three straight durable seasons make him a premier relief target, though signing him could involve draft pick compensation if a qualifying offer is attached, and his high projected market value may test the Mets' spending limits.
