The New York Mets entered the winter with a bit of uncertainty regarding their starting rotation. Noah Syndergaard won’t pitch until June or July, and David Peterson is inexperienced, not to mention that the team lost Michael Wacha and Rick Porcello to free agency.
However, after the World Series began, they added Marcus Stroman (technically, he was a member of the Mets in 2020, but didn’t pitch due to COVID-19 concerns) after he accepted their qualifying offer, and now they swung a deal for a very good starter in Carlos Carrasco.
On Thursday, the New York Mets traded shortstops Amed Rosario and Andrés Giménez, and prospects Josh Wolf (pitcher) and Isaiah Greene (outfielder) to Cleveland to acquire shortstop Francisco Lindor and Carrasco.
