The Rays just put a player on waivers who might be of some interest to the Mets.
Steven Matz was never a practical choice to come back to the New York Mets this offseason. What might make some sense is for the Mets to snatch the player who lost his roster spot as a result of the Matz signing.
Matz will pitch for the Tampa Bay Rays next season. To clear room, the Rays DFA’d a 25-year-old outfielder named Tristan Peters.
