LAS VEGAS — The Mets are turning toward a Familia face for bullpen help.
Jeurys Familia, who was dealt to Oakland by the Mets at last year’s trade deadline, reached agreement for a return to the team, pending a physical, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed early Thursday morning.
It’s a three-year deal, reportedly for $30 million. The right-hander would be expected to serve in a setup role for new closer Edwin Diaz.
The 29-year-old Familia went 8-6 with a 3.13 ERA in 70 appearances for the Mets and Athletics last season. Familia went to Oakland at the trade deadline for reliever Bobby Wahl and minor league third baseman Will Toffey.
Familia’s addition is the Mets’ first addition at the winter meetings. The team had also been showing interest in Andrew Miller, David Robertson and Adam Ottavino, among others, according to sources.
