The Mets’ relatively quiet offseason briefly awoke on Wednesday when pitcher Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor were acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets sent minor leaguer Coleman Crow to Milwaukee to complete the trade.
Now, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto officially a Dodger, the Mets could soon have big expectations for Houser. Team president David Stearns knows him well from their time in Milwaukee, where Houser spent seven seasons. In that time, he posted a clean 4.00 ERA.
And as of now, Houser figures to be a mid-rotation arm behind Kodai Senga and Luis Severino.
