With some holes left to fill in the starting rotation, the New York Mets should consider signing the free agent left-hander Jon Lester.

The New York Mets have entered a new era, as billionaire Steve Cohen has officially taken over as the franchise’s new owner.

Less than one week into his regime, Cohen has already made some sizable moves, such as letting go of some key figures in the team’s front office, most notably GM Brodie Van Wagenen, and appointing Sandy Alderson the Team President.
