The latest New York Mets rumors have once again linked the club to free agent starter Jake Odorizzi. Should fans get excited?
The name “Jake” is pretty important to New York Mets fans. So, to see Jake Odorizzi appear in recent Mets rumors, fans feel a kinship at the prospect of adding someone with the same namesake as their current ace, Jacob deGrom—at least this is what I’m thinking has fans interested in Odorizzi.
