Last week, the New York Mets added depth to their pitching staff by signing Rick Porcello. The right-hander, who won the American League Cy Young Award in 2016, joined the ballclub on a one-year, $10 million deal. At the moment, he’s one of seven individuals within the team’s starting rotation, a group that’s definitely subject to change.
A report from Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated came out this week that Porcello actually turned down multiple other offers to come to the Mets. These potential deals included more money along with longer timeframes.
