Mets In The Mix For Trevor Bauer
4 years agoThe New York Mets are believed to be interested and in the mix for free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer, the reigning National League Cy Young winner. A report emerged on Tuesday saying that the Mets were willing to top Gerrit Cole's $36 million average annual value on a shorter-term deal for Bauer, but multiple reports are now disputing that. Outside of two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom, New York's rotation struggled in 2020, with their 5.37 starters' ERA the fifth-worst in baseball. But a Bauer addition would boost an already strong stable of arms, including Marcus Stroman, Carlos Carrasco and Noah Syndergaard, who is due back around midseason after Tommy John surgery. Wherever Bauer lands, he'll be a fantasy ace for the 2021 season after his excellent 2020 campaign.
