Report: Mets Attempting to Trade Dellin Betances, Jeurys Familia Contracts

The New York Mets are reportedly looking to rid themselves of a pair of veteran pitchers this offseason.

The team is attempting to deal Dellin Betances and Jeurys Familia, according Andy Martino of SNY. 

The 32-year-old Betances joined the Mets after signing a one-year deal in December 2019. He was a four-time All-Star with the Yankees from 2014-17, but he wasn't as successful on the other side of town.

In 15 games, Betances amassed a 7.71 ERA, though he didn't give up any home runs. 

Familia fared slightly better, with a 3.71 EA in 25 outings. Through 26.2 innings, he gave up a pair of home runs and picked up a 2-0 record.

The 31-year-old spent the first six-plus years of his career with the Mets, where he was named an All-Star in 2016, before they traded him to the Oakland Athletics in July 2018. After that season, the Mets welcomed him back on a three-year contract.

Earlier on Wednesday, Martino said the team was "said to be all over the depth starting pitcher market." 

The Mets have a solid rotation after adding support this offseason behind two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom. Marcus Stroman is back after accepting a qualifying offer, and they acquired Carrasco in the Lindor trade with Cleveland.

In the bullpen, Edwin Diaz, Seth Lugo and offseason pickup Trevor May are expected to lead the way, but the Mets could offload some veterans to add more reliable assistance on the hill.
