Steven Matz’s 2020 season has been so bad I would label him as a non-tender candidate this winter. The New York Mets lefty is 0-5 with a 9.79 ERA in 26.2 innings pitched. There’s one year left of control on his contract which means a few things. One that comes to mind whenever he steps on the mound is that it could be his last time with this club.
Matz has been majorly disappointing since 2017. While things were never quite this bad, Matz failed to become a reliable start in the Mets’ rotation. Injuries hurt him early on.
