The New York Mets made a bold move this offseason to sign free agent pitcher Sam McWilliams to a major league contract despite never appearing in a big league game. Hoping they could steal a young stud off the open market, the team gambled on the former Tampa Bay Rays minor leaguer.
Those hopeful that McWilliams could turn into something special were disappointed to learn the end of his time with the Mets franchise may soon come to an end.
