This morning, the Mets got their last major piece of their rotation equation, agreeing to sign Taijuan Walker to a two-year deal with a player option for a third year with $23 million in guaranteed money. The Mets’ rotation needed one more solid back-end piece, and they got that in Walker, who is coming off one of the best seasons of his career thus far. And if he can get over his injury issues and unlock even a little more of the potential he once had, he could become a very important piece of the Mets’ rotation for the next two or three seasons.
