The Cincinnati Reds have made moves to strengthen their bullpen by signing Emilio Pagan and Nick Martinez. Pagan, who had a successful season with the Minnesota Twins, was acquired by the Reds, while Martinez was also added to the team's rotation. The Reds spent $16 million on bullpen help. On the other hand, the New York Mets have signed Luis Severino and Austin Adams to bolster their pitching staff. Severino, a former New York Yankee, joins the Mets' rotation, while Adams has been added to their bullpen. The Mets have also made significant front-office additions, hiring Eduardo Brizuela, Andy Green, and Kris Gross for various roles. The Mets continue to explore the rotation market and have added to their middle relief corps. The Amazins are also pursuing Japanese star RHP Yamamoto, whose asking price exceeds $200 million.

Mets add three major hires to front office staff: https://t.co/qVb7G6fXW1
David Stearns has started to put together some new faces in the front office, as the Mets have added Eduardo Brizuela as VP/special assistant to Stearns, Andy Green as senior VP/player development and Kris Gross as VP/amateur scouting.
Mets announce hirings of Andy Green for player development and Kris Gross for scouting. Will write more about this when Hot Stove cools, but upshot is these selections bring a human touch that is often lacking in organizations. Shows Stearns is interested in different viewpoints.

Reds are among many teams in on Emilio Pagan, who had a nice season in Minnesota (2.99 ERA, 0.95 WHIP). Time for the reliever market to open up a bit.
