Just ahead of the Winter Meetings, New York Mets rumors are beginning to creep out and hit the public. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the latest Mets rumors link them to 2016 Cy Young winner Rick Porcello.
Porcello has been a guy who makes sense for the Mets for quite some time. Now that Zack Wheeler is gone, it’s no shock to see him appear in any Mets rumors.
Porcello is a New Jersey native the team can sell to the fans as a bounce-back candidate. You can guarantee the team will mention his 2016 performance as much as possible while adding in his geographically close birthplace to New York.
