The New York Mets continue to have a busy offseason Wednesday.

New York reportedly traded pitcher Steven Matz to the Toronto Blue Jays for prospects, according to multiple reports.

The Mets have been linked to Trevor Bauer. And as USA TODAY’s Bob Nightengale noted, this could be the move that allows New York to sign the free agent pitcher.

Matz, 29, had an abysmal 2020, going 0-5 in six starts with a 9.68 ERA.
