Trevor May has a very specific distinction within Mets history. While he only spent two years with the club, he was the first major-league signing New York made in the Steve Cohen era.

Across 87.2 innings in Queens, the right-hander posted a 9-3 record with an even 4.00 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. His 2022 campaign was limited to just 25 innings. He was as good as advertised in 2021, though, twirling a 3.59 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 62.2 innings.

May’s career took him to Oakland last winter, as he and the Athletics agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal.
