The New York Mets have been encouraged to target longtime New York Yankees pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga when he hits free agency, according to recent analysis. Loaisiga, who has worn number 43 for the Yankees since 2018, was photographed celebrating with catcher Austin Wells after New York's victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium on June 5, 2025.
The right-handed reliever has spent his entire seven-year major league career in the Bronx, posting a 3.41 ERA across 258 appearances. With the Mets seeking bullpen depth, Loaisiga's familiarity with New York and postseason experience make him a logical fit for the crosstown rival.
