The speculations are now at rest about Brian McCann, as he is now a Houston Astro. The Yankees have now freed up space to have Gary Sanchez as their everyday starter, but revceived back the bare minumum in return. Brian McCann has been a disappointment in the Bronx, but his power alone is worth more than the Yankees received. They received right-handed pitching prospects Albert Abreu and Jorge Guzman. Both are talented right-handed pitchers from the Dominican, but neither will be ready before 2019. Abreu is ranked in the Astros’ top 30 prospects, but not Guzman.

The New York Mets team this past season was totally different than the NL champs in 2015. The Mets were riddled by injuries to their pitching rotation this season. Matt Harvey, Steven Matz, and Jacob deGrom all suffered injuries, setting back the performance of the Mets’ rotation.

Bartolo Colon may be leaving the beloved Mets, but he will stay in the NL East. His new deal with the Atlanta Braves is worth $12.5 million for the 2017 season. The former Cy Young winner is 43-years-old and overweight, but he still managing to excel. Like R.A. Dickey, Bartolo is to be a veteran fixture atop the rotation to eat up innings and be a mentor in the locker room. However, Colon brings more star power to Atlanta than Dickey does. Even Hall of Fame pitchers saw drops in their numbers as they aged and, but Bartolo is an Continue reading Braves Add a Significant Piece to Further Deepen their Rotation→
