When the New York Mets stunned us all and acquired Marcus Stroman at the trade deadline, there were a few thoughts about how the team should proceed. Because they continued to win games, the narrative went from “loading up for next year” to “trying to compete now.”
Whether the Mets make it to the 2019 postseason or not, Stroman should remain with the organization in 2020. Beyond that is anyone’s guess.
Stroman becomes a free agent after the 2020 season where he will pitch his age 29 season. It’s not a bad age to be when hitting the open market.
