Mets In Contact With Rays About Rich Hill
Rich Hill, according to Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo. Hill has been solid for the Rays and fantasy managers in 2021, posting a 3.87 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 91:36 K: BB across 95 1/3 innings. He would serve an immediate need for the Mets who have been ravaged by injuries to their starting rotation. Carlos Carrasco (hamstring) had a rough outing in his first rehab start, which could push back his return timeline. As a result, the Mets need to address starting pitching sooner than later. Were the Mets to acquire Hill in a deal with the Rays, his fantasy value would essentially remain similar. He would move to a similarly competitive ball club, and a similarly situated pitcher-friendly park in Citifield. Hill, prone to the long ball having allowed 14 home runs so far in 2021, would move from Tropicana Field (the fourth-ranked ballpark for home run park factors, according to ESPN) to Citifield, the third-ranked park.
