Blue Jays could threaten Mets’ Edwin Diaz reunion hopes

Edwin Diaz put his chances of a Mets return at “50-50.”

The free agent closer said Thursday night that he has had discussions with Mets brass, but the All-Star is expected to have a robust market this winter.

That would apparently include the World Series runner-up Blue Jays, who are looking to strengthen their bullpen after a Game 7 meltdown against the Dodgers, according to Ken Rosenthal.

Toronto is again expected to be active on the free agent market, possibly pursuing prized outfielder Kyle Tucker, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman, and could pose a threat to the Mets’ efforts to keep their fireball closer.

“We want to make sure we don’t cut ourselves off,” general manager Ross Atkins said during the GM meetings. “We’ve had more deductions in terms of pitching. We have to make sure we understand that market, but we’re not going to take ourselves out of another market either.”

The Blue Jays were two outs away from capturing the World Series in Game 7 with the Dodgers before closer Jeff Hoffman, who had an up-and-down season, gave up a game-tying home run to Miguel Rojas.

According to Rosenthal, the Yankees and Tigers are other teams with potential interest in Diaz, who is expected to turn a profit after a season in which he pitched a 1.63 ERA in 62 appearances with 28 saves in 31 opportunities.

“Just get the best deal for me and my family,” the 31-year-old said of his goal on Thursday. “I love New York and I would really like to stay in New York, but if I have to go to another place, I will be happy and want to win a ring. Wherever I go, I want to win a ring and enjoy the time.”

Diaz has opted out of the final two years and $37 million of his Mets deal, though the team extended his $22 million qualifying offer — meaning they would receive draft compensation if he signs elsewhere.

It is believed he is seeking a four or five year deal, wherever it comes from.

“We would like to stay [with the Mets]But at the end of the day, we don’t know what they’re thinking,” Díaz said. “We have our role. My agency wants to do the best work, and I just listen to my agent.”
