Mets Considering Tanner Scott, John Brebbia

By Anthony Franco | July 30, 2024 at 1:48am CDT

The Mets have already added Phil Maton and Ryne Stanek to their bullpen this month. They don’t appear to be content with that pair of acquisitions as they remain linked to a handful of relievers.

Tim Britton and Will Sammon of the Athletic write that the Mets have discussed a pursuit of White Sox righty John Brebbia. Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that New York is one of multiple teams that has engaged Chicago on southpaw Tanner Banks. While the Sox relievers are more middle innings or setup options, FanSided’s Robert Murray suggests the Mets have also shown interest in top rental closer Tanner Scott.

Brebbia and Scott are both very likely to land elsewhere tomorrow. They’re each impending free agents on last place teams. Brebbia’s contract contains a $6MM mutual option with a $1.5MM buyout, but it’s fair to presume that will not be exercised by both parties. The Sox righty is playing this season on a modest $4MM deal.

While he owns an underwhelming 5.71 earned run average, Brebbia has more intriguing peripherals. He has fanned almost 30% of batters faced against a tidy 6.6% walk percentage. A lofty .346 average on balls in platy against him is the primary reason for his disappointing run prevention mark. The bat-missing ability should get him a middle relief spot on a contender.

Banks is a less clear trade candidate because he’s controllable for the foreseeable future. Yet he’s already 32 years old on a Sox team at the nadir of a rebuild. It’s unlikely that Banks is playing a meaningful role the next time the White Sox are in contention. He’s having a solid ’24 season, fanning nearly 27% of opposing hitters against a 7.3% walk rate. Banks has logged 48 innings of 4.13 ERA ball. He’s still two seasons away from qualifying for arbitration.

Scott is a much bigger name and would be tougher to land. The hard-throwing southpaw is on the radar of most contenders. He’s striking out 29.1% of opposing hitters with a sterling 1.18 ERA across 45 2/3 frames for the Marlins. Scott has locked down 18 of 20 save chances.

    I don’t know much about the Mets farm system but it shouldn’t take much to acquire Banks and Brebbia. Probably a couple low level players with upside and maybe some cash considerations would get it done.

    as good as tanner scott is, wont be worth the prospect cost to get him. other two options make a lot more sense for the mets.

    Banks is a lefty so will cost more than Brebbia. But give the Mets both of them for a solid prospect outfielder maybe?

      I like this scenario adding both players. Mets GM has been surprising this trade deadline so we can think positive

    If dealing with CHW, Mets should “go big”: Crochet plus the 2 relievers, for some of the A/AA talent. Signing Crochet will be affordable bc of his pre-FA status.

      Based on the return the Sox got for Fedde, Mets can offer their #10 prospect and get cash considerations back.

    The Mets are in a weird spot. I don’t think they are good enough to win the World Series but can be good enough to make the playoffs.

    So do you sell off prospects for a rental to get in the playoffs?

    I get the whole just get in and you never know factor. I just don’t see that starting rotation being good enough to make a real playoff run.

    I mean who are there game 1-2-3 starters?

    I feel the same way about the brewers.

      Yeah but for 2 months they’ve been winning with this rotation because the offense is putting up 6-7 runs/game, if they make any noise in the playoffs it’d likely due to this composition

      Any team that makes the postseason can win the series.

      It seems the Mets, more so than other teams, play to the level of their competition. They absolutely can win it all.

    I don’t think Mets have changed their winter position and want to go from a competitive to an all-in mode. Stearns stated the cost of SP is ridiculous so if they can’t add a SP I don’t think they will be terribly aggressive for RP. Stearns will look for lightening in a bottle. Low cost players that could get on a streak.

      That’s what he’s done so far… bought low on guys with past experience for marginal cost.

      I don’t think he should/would pay what Scott will bring.

    I don’t think Chapman is off the board for the Mets.

    It’s after lunch on deadline day and Tanner Scott is still a Marlin. This suggests to me the best deal option available is not exciting Peter Bendix
