New York Mets
The New York Mets already stole Eric Chavez from the Yankees. Why not outbid them for Carlos Rodon?
The Mets went on an impressive spending spree prior to the lockout. Their outfield has been revamped, infield depth is improved, and Max Scherzer has given them a second ace to pair with Jacob deGrom. It has been a great start to their offseason.
But the Mets are not done. They still need to find more depth, both in the rotation and in the bullpen. Even when they felt they had plenty of depth, such as they did prior to the 2021 season, injuries piled up and ruined the year.
Rodon would be a solid fit in the Mets rotation. Depending on which Taijuan Walker they have in 2022, Rodon would slot in as their third or fourth starter. With owner Steve Cohen’s mandate that the Mets begin to win championships as soon as possible, Rodon would help with that edict.
The New York Mets need more depth in their rotation. Carlos Rodon would be a significant upgrade.
