Have you heard? The Mets have reportedly found an ace to fill the Jacob deGrom-sized hole in their rotation. They didn’t spare any resources, either. After watching the two-time Cy Young winner bolt for Texas, New York filled his spot with a three-time Cy Young winner in Justin Verlander.
It comes with some risk, but Max Scherzer gets to pitch with another co-ace in Flushing next season. News of this deal broke just after 9 am PST in San Diego, so the day is just getting started for the Amazins. Where could they turn their attention next?
