NEW YORK — Jake Diekman and the New York Mets have finalized a $4 million, one-year contract that includes a club option. New York holds a $4 million option for 2025 that becomes guaranteed if the left-handed reliever pitches in at least 58 games this year. The sides agreed to terms last week, subject to a successful physical. The 37-year-old Diekman went 0-2 with a 3.34 ERA in 63 relief appearances for the White Sox and Rays last season. He also has pitched for Philadelphia, Texas, Arizona, Kansas City, Oakland and Boston. To open a roster spot for Diekman, right-hander Austin Adams was designated for assignment.
