The New York Mets‘ rotation suffered from all kinds of maladies during the 2020 condensed season. Noah Syndergaard was lost to Tommy John surgery before the season began, free agent signings Michael Wacha and Rick Porcello didn’t deliver the expected results, and Steven Matz was rocked from the start to the finish while also suffering from shoulder ailments.
In short, only Jacob deGrom and rookie David Peterson showed the desired consistency that the New York Mets required to be players in the National League East division.
Now, Steve Cohen is about to acquire the New York Mets, and he should, at least a priori, be more willing to invest in payroll than the Wilpons.
