You sure about this Billy Eppler, Mets? Because even YOU realized Matt Harvey was done. I know he’s your 17th choice and all but…
From 2018…
The Angels officially added much-needed rotation depth on Friday, as they agreed to terms with former Mets ace Matt Harvey on a one-year deal worth $11 million with a chance to earn another $3 million in incentives.
…
General manager Billy Eppler said the Angels had been scouting Harvey since last year and his stuff continued to get better after his early-season trade from the Mets to the Reds.
…
“There was a trend of an uptick in grades on the fastball on both the velocity and the movement characteristics,” Eppler said. “We were also seeing an uptick with the slider and changeup as well. Then we merged that with some of our quantitative information to really dive into those pitch characteristics and they were starting to look like his pitch characteristics in 2015, when he came back from Tommy John.” (Via MLB.com)
General Manager Billy Eppler released Matt Harvey in JULY after 12 starts and a 7.09 ERA
Anyway, when does Brad Ausmus start as Mets manager, as predicted by Mets Police on October 20th?
