The New York Yankees and the New York Mets are actively pursuing free agent relievers. The Mets are interested in Aroldis Chapman and have spoken to representatives of various available relievers. They have funds to invest in this area. Meanwhile, the Yankees are in talks with Hector Neris, who is seeking a 1-2 year deal at $7M-11M per year. The Pirates have surprised with the signing of Aroldis Chapman, and it is suggested that he may remain a setup man. The Astros have made a significant addition by acquiring Josh Hader, who expressed excitement about joining the team and aims to contribute to winning multiple World Series titles.

.@JackCurryYES says not to expect the Yankees to sign Hector Neris. Leaning more toward reunions with Wandy Peralta or Keynan Middleton. https://t.co/Yx9EBcBIp9

Tbh I like the Pirates signing Aroldis Chapman. Good young bats with another year under their belt + Cruz coming back. Added some veterans in Perez and Gonzales & an extremely solid bullpen with Bednar, Holderman, and now Chapman. https://t.co/wm0k1OJDV2
Didn't see that coming... looks like Chapman will remain a setup man. If the Pirates are going to spend a little bit, Amed Rosario would be a nice fit at second base. https://t.co/3nUSekqkHf
Hader’s in the Building 😏 https://t.co/0iB3xJyi3H
Josh Hader when asked if he needs defined role: "We're going to do anything we can to win."
Astros manager Joe Espada: "I'm very excited about this. This is a big day. Adding someone like Josh to an already an elite team, puts us closer to our goals, which is to win and get back to the World Series."
Josh Hader when asked about being the closer: "Ryan's [Pressly] in the same boat and we're all in the same boat to do whatever we can and win ballgames and take it to the final step."
Josh Hader: "Not only going to the playoffs, but also winning multiple World Series. This team knows how to do that... That's something we want to be a part of."
