Agrees to terms with Mets
Diekman signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Mets on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal also includes a vesting option for 2025. Diekman held a 2.18 ERA and 53:25 K:BB over 45.1 innings for the Rays last season after being released by the White Sox. The left-handed reliever has a long history of control problems and swing-and-miss ability and the Mets will be hoping for more of the latter than the former in 2024.

Prior to last season, Diekman compiled a stingy .55 HR/9. In 2021, he went from a groundball to flyball pitcher and sported a 1.48 HR/9. He threw a few more fastball in lieu of his slider, but not enough to drop from a 48 percent groundball rate to last season's 35 percent mark. He continued to amass gobs of strikeouts and his walk rate has always been high, but the home run spike came out of nowhere. Diekman's high walk rate and BABIP have always led to a high WHIP. If he doesn't find a cure for last year's gopheritis, his ERA is in jeopardy as well. Diekman is often mentioned as a speculative closer but allows too much traffic to be a serious candidate for saves. Keep an eye on his groundball rate. If it reverts to around 50 percent, Diekman could help in single league formats.
