According to multiple reports, Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano is expected to decide where he will pitch in the 2020 season by Tuesday, which means it could be a matter of hours to know if he decided to pitch for the New York Mets, the San Francisco Giants, the Toronto Blue Jays, or even his old team, the Yomiuri Giants.
Those are the teams that are still in the running for Sugano’s services, and while last-minute suitors could arrive, it appears an unlikely scenario. The Mets have a clear hole in their starting rotation, especially if Noah Syndergaard, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, experiences any setbacks.
