Ever since the offseason started, the New York Mets waited until they had a president of baseball operations to start thinking about adding players outside of their existing roster. Once they decided that president Sandy Alderson was going to take over baseball decisions, they started kicking the tires on several players in the market.
The first one to sign was Trevor May, a 31-year-old relief pitcher that came from the Minnesota Twins. As it turns out, May had worked for years with current New York Mets’ pitching coach Jeremy Hefner when he was in Minneapolis.
Once the offseason started, May asked lots of questions to Hefner about the Mets, the city, and other related stuff.
