The New York Mets are on the hunt for a reliever, and with the market still blossoming with available options, general manager Sandy Alderson and his staff appear to have a list of candidates they like.

Sergio Romo, Joe Smith, and Jerry Blevins are among the free-agent relievers the Mets are considering, reports FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, citing sources.

The Mets could be without closer Jeurys Familia at some point next season if an MLB investigation into a domestic violence incident forces a suspension on the 27-year-old. If a suspension occurs, having an additional reliever on hand with closing experience such as Romo or Smith would be beneficial to the Mets.

Of the three players of interest to New York that Rosenthal mentions, Romo is the most established after an impressive nine-year run with the San Francisco Giants, where he notched 84 saves in 102 opportunities, while fashioning a 2.58 ERA.

The Mets may prefer Smith or Blevins, however, as the organization has employed both players in the past. Smith began his big-league career with the Mets in 2007, and Blevins has pitched for them the past two seasons.

Over the course of a 10-year career, Smith owns a 2.93 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 639 appearances, saving 29 games. He split last season between the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs.

Blevins appeared in 73 games for the Mets last season, posting a 2.79 ERA, while striking out a career high 11.1 hitters per nine innings.
