The Mets, after two high-profile lineup moves in recent days, turned toward the bullpen on Wednesday.
Luis Garcia, a veteran right-hander who spent last season with three teams, has reached agreement with the club on a contract, The Post’s Joel Sherman first reported.
Garcia, 38, pitched to a 3.42 ERA in 58 appearances last season with the Angels, Nationals and Dodgers. He became the third new member of a reconstructed Mets bullpen during an offseason in which Edwin Diaz departed to the Dodgers on a three-year contract worth $69 million.
Previously, the Mets signed Devin Williams to a three-year contract worth $51 million. Luke Weaver received a two-year deal worth $22 million.
The Mets also have Huascar Brazoban and lefties Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter in the bullpen.
Garcia averaged 96.9 mph with his fastball velocity last season, which ranked in MLB’s 87th percentile, according to Statcast. He also had a ground ball rate of 49.7 percent, which ranked in MLB’s 82nd percentile.
In the last week, the Mets signed Bo Bichette to a three-year contract worth $126 million and traded with the White Sox for outfielder Luis Robert Jr.
