With Zack Wheeler leaving for the Phillies and the bullpen being the mess it is the New York Mets need a lot of pitching help. They need a fifth starter who doesn’t remind fans of Jason Vargas and they need any bullpen help they can get. Kevin Gausman can fill either role for the Mets.
Gausman started his career with the Baltimore Orioles. He made his major league debut in 2013 as a long man. He made 20 appearances and fives starts. Gausman didn’t adapt to the role well. He struggled mightily in his rookie year.
