In recent years, the New York Mets have been more talked about in the offseason than when the players are on the field and the last few weeks are no exception.
Recently, the difficulties in finding candidates interested in filling key positions within the organization mainly due to the unpredictable personality of owner Steve Cohen have made headlines.
Now it’s the free agent carousel that Cohen would like to see end up in his locker room that is gaining attention and all of this comes in part to the detriment of pitcher Marcus Stroman.
Looking ahead to the 2022 season, the former Blue Jays is a free agent and is screaming loudly that he wants to continue his career in New York as he considers himself able to live well with the pressure that comes with a position. starting in the Big Apple.
However, in light of the many rumors that have come from around the team, Stroman realizes that he is not high on the priority list in order to revamp the team’s starting rotation.
Thus, the Mets would have their eyes on Max Scherzer, Kevin Gausman, and Robbie Ray. Three better pitchers than Stroman, who is 10-13 in 2021 with an earned-run average of 3.02. The right-hander has been in New York since 2019, but he hasn’t played in 2020.
