The New York Mets won’t play another baseball game until the spring when we hope to have a similar-looking roster with a few shiny toys mixed in. The 2020 season is over and it’s time to point some fingers. My index lands squarely on the poor starting pitching.
Brodie Van Wagenen had a chance to make starting pitching an asset for the Mets yet again in 2020. Well before the pandemic, he went the cheap route instead.
We don’t blame the GM as the sole proprietor of this. The Wilpons gave him a budget and working within it is never easy.
