As the Trevor Bauer sweepstakes continue to heat up, the Mets are making a serious push to add the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner to their rotation.
The Mets have reportedly made Bauer a multi-year offer of three or four years that's less than the record $36 million average annual value for a pitcher, according to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network. The deal includes opt outs, and there's a belief that Bauer is seeking a much longer deal after previously vowing to sign only one-year contracts.
Heyman also reports that the Dodgers have a similar interest in Bauer, though they're eyeing a shorter-term deal.
