SAD NEWS: Another departure for Toronto Blue Jays
Someone David Stearns added to the Blue Jays in a previous trade could be a potential trade target for the Mets. He ought to try it once again.
Over the past several weeks, a lot of middle relievers have become familiar to New York Mets fans. It will go on until the end of July since the bullpen is where this club most urgently needs help.
There are two methods for reducing the pool of potential candidates. Naturally, the first place to look is to see who is pitching well in relief for Major League Baseball scrubs. Examining those whose contracts are about to expire can also help weed out a few more names.
A known pitcher for David Stearns is one potential trade target that is currently on the Toronto Blue Jays roster. Early in 2021, Stearns acquired Trevor Richards from the Tampa Bay Rays in a move that is best known for involving Willy Adames. With the Blue Jays losing ground in the American League race, Richards is having one of his best seasons and should be watched closely.
In what way does Trevor Richards fit the Mets’ needs?
This season, Richards has pitched 43.1 innings for the Blue Jays and is 1-0 with a 2.49 ERA. He has struck out hitters at an average of 8.5 per nine while walking batters 3.3 times per nine. These figures are hardly shocking.
