Uncle Stevie’s Spending Spree Begins With The Mets Agreeing To A 2-Year Deal With Reliever Trevor May

Congratulations Trevor May, you just got a fat new contract and are the answer to the trivia question of who was the first legit signing of the Steve Cohen Era. We've talked about the Mets filling their holes at catcher, centerfield, and potentially third for a while now (sidenote: haha, filling holes). But any Mets fan knows that the bullpen has been the elephant's graveyard for the Mets for a very new time and getting a 6'5 man mountain like May who strikes motherfuckers out with high 90s cheddar should help alleviate some of our concerns as we recover from the half measures of the Wilpon Era.

I'm not sure if this move means there is a decent chance my guy Seth Lugo is tabbed for the rotation as of now considering May, Jeurys Familia, Dellin Betances, and EdWIN Diaz are all late game, right-handed arms in the 'pen. But at the very least, we have one more relief arm, which is good since Brodie traded away a bunch of young pitchers over the years for defensive centerfielders that couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag. 

In case all this wasn't enough to sell you on May, you gotta love the idea of Luis Rojas calling on May to get the Mets out of a jam during Players Weekend and seeing a man run in from the bullpen with DJ HEYBEEF on his back.

All in all, a nice little appetizer from the hot stove. Now let's keep cooking with the finest ingredients from the gourmet section, Sandy!
