Steven Matz is a key cog in the New York Mets‘ rotation, a unit that will have to endure the loss of Noah Syndergaard for the next year, at least. Thor was supposed to slot right behind ace Jacob deGrom and in front of Marcus Stroman. Now, Michael Wacha and Rick Porcello will complete the group.
Matz, who is a homegrown Mets’ player like deGrom, believes that a shortened season (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) will not change anything regarding the ace’s chances of winning a third straight Cy Young award in the National League.
