Marcus Stroman Is Returning To The Mets After Accepting His Qualifying Offer

The Stro Show is back baby (h/t Metsmerized)!!!

I don’t know if Stroman returning was a product of Uncle Stevie’s press conference yesterday, coronavirus making $19 million a pretty decent one year deal as teams look to shed payroll, or a mix of both. But I do know that the Mets rotation looks to be rounding into form pretty quickly and a pitcher like Stroman is going to look a heck of a lot better if Sandy Alderson actually makes the Mets even a decent defensive baseball team, which should lead to more electric moments like this.

UPDATE: I guess the press conference didn’t hurt!

Shout out Jerry Reinsdorf to helping speed up this whole process by hiring Tony LaRussa

Keep getting excited Mets fans. This is just the beginning. Can’t wait until Big Poppa Stro is cheering on his son from Citi Field whenever this corona nonsense is over!
