The New York Mets, most notably their president Sandy Alderson, have praised free agent pitcher Trevor Bauer as having a unique personality that can thrive in the spotlight, more specifically, in the bright lights of the Big Apple. Bauer has also confessed to being a huge fan of Alderson, new owner Steve Cohen, and the Mets’ direction.
Given that the New York Mets currently need one or two rotation reinforcements, it is natural to think Bauer can fit right in. He would slide just behind ace Jacob deGrom and join a talented group that includes Marcus Stroman, Noah Syndergaard, and David Peterson.
