<p>Even though they claim <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-Russell-Westbrooks-record-since-he-comes-off-the-Los-Angeles-Lakers-bench-20221220-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the NBA</a> is where amazing happens, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Aaron-Judge-signs-mega-deal-with-Yankees-How-much-does-he-make-per-year-month-week-and-day-20221207-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a> </strong>isn’t that far off. Every single year, the offseason is full of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/MLB-News-Aaron-Judge-and-the-hiighest-paid-MLB-players-20221207-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shocking moves</a>, </strong>trades, and international signings.</p>
<p>This year wasn’t the exception to that trend. From the <strong>New York Mets</strong> signing<strong> Kodai Senga</strong> to a massive dealto <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong> getting MVP-kind of money, it seems like you never know what’s going on in this league.</p>
<p>And with<strong> Carlos Correa’s last-second move <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/new-york-mets-gm-billy-eppler-optimistic-as-amazins-flop-in-mlb-postseason-20221014-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Queens</a>,</strong> this offseason might as well have been one of the craziest in recent times. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the most shocking transactions.</p>
<h2>MLB News: The Most Shocking Offseason Moves</h2>
<h3>3. Xander Bogaerts</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>While it wasn’t shocking to see multiple teams interested in <strong>Xander Bogaerts,</strong> the fact that he joined the <strong>San Diego Padres,</strong>of all teams, was a major surprise. I mean, how many shortstops do they need?</p>
<p>The Padres are trying to build a contender by any means necessary, and<strong> spending big money on superstars is sure a step in that direction</strong>. But you have to wonder whether this was the right fit for both parties.</p>
<h3>2. Jacob deGrom</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221221_BUS_209623_jacob_degrom.jpg_22993414_f591ee01.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jacob deGrom – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Most people were on the fence about <strong>Jacob deGrom. </strong>50% thought he was a lock to be back with the <strong>New York Mets, </strong>while the other 50% was sure he was going to end up with the<strong> Atlanta Braves.</strong></p>
<p>So, it was shocking to see the <strong>Texas Rangers </strong>coming out of the left field to snatch the best pitcher in baseball to a mega deal. Hopefully, he’ll stay healthy and will be able to live up to that contract.</p>
<h3>1. Carlos Correa</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221221_BUS_209623_carlos_correa_x1x.jpg_22993414_443c2d22.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carlos Correa – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Obviously,<strong> Carlos Correa’s </strong>deal has to be the biggest surprise. He had already agreed to a 13-yearmega-deal with the <strong>San Francisco Giants.</strong> Then, out of the blue, they postponed his press conference due to health concerns.</p>
<p>But apparently, <strong>Steve Cohen </strong>wasn’t concerned at all. He gave Correa a 12-year contract to get the superstar shortstop to the <strong>New York Mets</strong>. So, what actually happened? What popped up in his medical? I guess we’ll never know.</p>

<p>This will be a key offseason for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-will-meet-with-a-national-league-team-20221123-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a>.</strong> Their humiliating loss to the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-many-world-series-has-dusty-baker-won-20221106-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Astros</a> </strong>exposed their biggest needs again, and<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-jacob-degrom-and-superstar-who-could-join-new-teams-20221108-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing Aaron Judge</a> is something they simply cannot afford.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Brian Cashman</strong> needs to fix the mediocrity spiral he’s gotten the team into. That means spending big and spending well, digging into the free agency pool to sign the best players available.</p>
<p>With that in mind, the<em>Bronx Bombers</em>are reportedly keeping tabs on a well-known neighbor. Apparently, they’re checking in on <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-free-agents-jacob-degrom-and-best-pitchers-available-20221110-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacob deGrom</a>, </strong>who’s also being scouted by the <strong>Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: Yankees Checking In On Jacob deGrom</h2>
<p><em><strong>“The Yankees have requested medical information on Jacob deGrom</strong>, according to SNY, though the report comes with the caveat that this doesn’t necessarily mean the Yankees are going to pursue deGrom in free agency<strong>. It seems as though this is merely a due-diligence-type request,”</strong> </em>CBS reported.</p>
<p><em><strong>“The Yankees’ top priority this offseason remains bringing Aaron Judge back.</strong> Until then, they’ll likely continue to work backup, contingency plans that they hope won’t be needed<strong>,”</strong></em> the report added.</p>

<h2>Mets Could Pursue Justin Verlander</h2>
<p>The Mets are confident in their ability to re-sign deGrom to a long-term deal sooner rather than later. However, <strong>Steve Cohen</strong> won’t sleep on his laurelsand is reportedly ready to pursue Justin Verlander as an alternative:</p>
<p><em><strong>“As SNY first reported, the Mets are considering Justin Verlander as an alternative to deGrom,”</strong></em> Andy Martino reported.<em>“The Athletic reported on Sunday that Verlander met with the Mets via Zoom last week.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Sources said that both that meeting and the one with free agent pitcher Kodai Senga went well — but what else would we expect to hear? It’s not like people tend to turn over tables and storm out of these types of meetings<strong>. The conversations go ‘well.’ Anyway, the Mets are hopeful that deGrom will choose them, but of course have to explore alternatives,”</strong></em><strong></strong>the report added.</p>
<p>It shouldn’t take long before both <strong>Aaron Judge and Jacob deGrom</strong> announce their next destinations, although most people around MLB circles believe they’ll wind up staying with their respective teams.</p>

<p>Year after year, some of the<strong> best hurlers on Earth</strong> switch sides, either because they’re looking for a bigger role, a more lucrative payday, or a chance to win that highly-coveted Commissioner’s Trophy.</p>
<p>This offseason won’t be the exception to that rule, as we expect multiple stars to find new homes by the end of the winter. So, here, we’ll let you know about<strong> the top 3 best pitchers available in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-jacob-degrom-and-superstar-who-could-join-new-teams-20221108-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free agency.</a></strong></p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: The 3 Best Pitchers Available In Free Agency</h2>
<h3>3. Carlos Rodon</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221118_BUS_205209_carlos_rodon.jpg_22993414_4f01edc3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carlos Rodon – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While some thought his 2021 campaign with the <strong>Chicago White Sox </strong>was misleading, <strong>Carlos Rodon</strong> has once again proved to be an elite hurler in this league. He was the only bright spot for the <strong>San Francisco Giants</strong> this season.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old has strung back-to-back solid campaigns together and is now in line to get the <strong>biggest payday of his career.</strong> He’s poised, often in control, and still has plenty left in the tank, so we should be looking at a multi-year deal.</p>
<h3>2. Justin Verlander</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221118_BUS_205209_justin_verlander.jpg_22993414_c4ec2e9d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Justin Verlander – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Talking about guys who still have plenty left in the tank, <strong>Justin Verlander</strong> enters the offseason in a prime position to make even more money. Even at his age, he’s still one of the top 5 pitchers on Earth.</p>
<p>Verlander was even able to put his <strong>World Series </strong>woes behind him with his first career win in a WS last season. He had one of the best years of his career, even though he was coming off a major injury.</p>
<h3>1. Jacob deGrom</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221118_BUS_205209_jacob_degrom_x1x.jpg_22993414_a97799c3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jacob deGrom – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>New York Mets</strong> fans will not bat an eye until<strong> Steve Cohen </strong>makes sure to bring <strong>Jacob deGrom</strong> back. He’s the best pitcher in the world when healthy, although he hasn’t been healthy as often as they’d like him to.</p>
<p>DeGrom is <strong>as dominant as he is spectacular.</strong> Even with the injury risk, he deserves to be the highest-paid starting pitcher on Earth, and multiple teams will make sure to make him an offer he cannot reject.</p>

At least, that’s how you feel if you’re <strong>Marlon Mack or a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/have-the-houston-astros-ever-won-the-world-series-20221027-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Astros</a>fan</strong>, and not so much if you were rooting for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/have-the-philadelphia-phillies-ever-won-the-world-series-20221027-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Philadelphia Phillies.</strong></a></p>
<p>But way beyond<strong> the final outcome</strong>, the 2022 season had some historical moments we’ll never forget. And while it may have been disappointing to some, there’s still the hope to get better for next season.</p>
<p>With that in mind, multiple organizations are set to break the bank and make some big investments in the winter. That’s why here, we’ll let you know about <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-next-team-if-he-leaves-the-yankees-20221027-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three superstars</a> that could switch sides for 2023.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: 3 Superstars Who Could Change Teams</h2>
<h3>3. Justin Verlander</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221108_BUS_205016_justin_verlander.jpg_22993414_9a42bba5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Justin Verlander – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Justin Verlander </strong>shut down all the doubters this season. Despite his age and being fresh off a major injury, the veteran hurler turned back the clock to have one of the best campaigns of his career.</p>
<p>So, Verlander could opt out of the final year of his contract and take a page out o<strong>f Max Scherzer’s</strong> book. There will certainly be a big market for a durable, proven veteran who just earned Cy Young honors and a World Series ring.</p>
<h3>2. Jacob deGrom</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221108_BUS_205016_jacob_degrom.jpg_22993414_a9ae514f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jacob deGrom – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jacob deGrom</strong> made it clear that he planned to opt out of the final years of his contract with the <strong>New York Mets.</strong> And even though he never shut down the possibility of coming back, he’s still likely to explore the market.</p>
<p>There will always be some durability concerns after injury-riddled campaigns. But deGrom is the best pitcher in the world when healthy, and teams like the<strong>Atlanta Braves</strong>will be glad to break the bank just to get him.</p>
<h3>1. Aaron Judge</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221108_BUS_205016_aaron_judge_x1x.jpg_22993414_3f26a064.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Aaron Judge – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Some never thought <strong>Aaron Judge </strong>was really going to leave the Bronx. But the season ended on a low note for the <strong>New York Yankees</strong>, and reports state that he was quite hurt after being booed by his own fans.</p>
<p>Judge is coming off one of the greatest seasons not only in Yankees history, but also in the history of this beautiful sport. He bet on himself and it paid off, so he might want to take the money from a contender to finally be a part of a<strong>World Series</strong> run.</p>

<p>Not many guys in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-potential-destinations-for-aaron-judge-20220923-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a> </strong>history could throw the baseball the way <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-jacob-degrom-and-superstars-that-could-become-free-agents-20220831-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jacob deGrom</strong></a> does it. He’s the best pitcher in the game when healthy,<strong> although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-mets-get-terrible-news-about-jacob-degroms-injury-20220401-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that hasn’t happened very often</a> lately.</strong></p>
<p>deGrom was on the verge of <strong>one of the greatest seasons in baseball history</strong> before cutting his campaign short due to injury. It took him a while, but he’s shown no signs of rust or slowing down since he came back.</p>
<p>But not everything’s good news for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/jerry-seinfeld-points-to-the-culprit-behind-the-new-york-mets-performance-in-this-mlb-season-20220907-0055.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a>.</strong> The ace has let them know that he plans to <strong>opt-out of his contract </strong>in the offseason, which is why we’ll discuss the three likeliest landing spots for him.</p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: 3 Potential Landing Spots For Jacob deGrom</h2>
<h3>3. Los Angeles Dodgers</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221002_BUS_201331_jacob_degrom_x3x.jpg_22993414_0f8a440c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Heading to Hollywood – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers </strong>can offer more money than nearly every sports team in the world, so we know that won’t be an issue. Also, they need to fill in the voids of<strong>Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney, Trevor Bauer, and Walker Buehler.</strong></p>
<p>The Dodgers are always in the mix for the best players on Earth, so it would be naive to think they won’t reach out to the most dominant hurler in baseball. Whether <strong>he’ll move to the West Coast,</strong> that’s a whole different story.</p>
<h3>2. Atlanta Braves</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221002_BUS_201331_jacob_degrom_x2x.jpg_22993414_f51299cb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    A shocking turn of events – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Joining a divisional rival doesn’t sound like something a guy like Jacob deGrom would do, especially after all he’s been through with the Mets. But this is a business, and the <strong>Atlanta Braves</strong> have been quite aggressive in terms of spending lately.</p>
<p>The reigning <strong>World Series champions</strong> have already put together a solid rotation, but the front office has been clear in its intention to add a world-class kind of ace. Also, some believe they could actually lead the race for his services if he opts out.</p>
<h3>1. New York Mets</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221002_BUS_201331_jacob_degrom_x1x.jpg_22993414_e9a740b4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Staying home – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>And, of course, there’s always the possibility that deGrom works out a new deal with the team he’s spent his entire career. The<strong> New York Mets</strong> can’t afford to let him walk, and it’s not just for baseball-related reasons.</p>
<p>Steve Cohen took over and vowed to turn the franchise around for good. Letting their best player go would send the wrong message. They’ve already committed an absurd amount of money to <strong>Max Scherzer,</strong> so they won’t hesitate to pay up for their superstar.</p>

<h2>MLB News: 3 Superstars That Could Become Free Agents</h2>
<h3>3. Carlos Correa</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carlos Correa </strong>was rumored to join the<strong> New York Yankees </strong>and<strong> Detroit Tigers </strong>before joining the <strong>Minnesota Twins</strong>. Still, he’s been tangled in rumors of an opt-out since the start of the season, and that hasn’tchanged the slightest.</p>
<p>The Twins have been better than expected and are still in the<strong> Wild Card race.</strong> They could even wind up winning their division. But if they go through another of their late-season meltdowns, then expect him to leave.</p>
<h3>2. Nolan Arenado</h3>

<p><strong>Nolan Arenado</strong> should be at the top of the National League MVP race this season. He’s been as spectcular as always on defense, and is having one of the best offensive years of his career, even away from Coors Field.</p>
<p>The<strong> St. Louis Cardinals</strong> are trying to go all-in this season, as they’re not getting any younger. So, depending on how their offseason goes, the former<strong> Colorado Rockies</strong> superstar could pursue a new path.</p>
<h3>1. Jacob deGrom</h3>

<p><strong>Jacob deGrom</strong> has already made it clear that he plans to opt out of his contract with the <strong>New York Mets. </strong>He’s the best pitcher in the game by a long stretch and should be paid as such once he becomes a free agent.</p>
<p>While deGrom has never hinted at leaving the Mets, the <strong>Atlanta Braves</strong> are reportedly ready to make him an offer he can’t refuse. deGrom is a spectacular player, and only injury could prevent him from getting a massive paycheck.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-fan-favorite-new-york-mets-of-all-time-20210224-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jacob deGrom</strong></a> was on pace to have <strong>one of the best seasons in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-news-dave-roberts-guarantees-dodgers-will-win-world-series-20220325-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> history</strong>. A perennial<strong> Cy Young</strong> candidate, he was having an <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/25-MLB-stars-that-havent-won-an-MVP-yet-20200501-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MVP</a>-caliber campaign</strong> before injuries got the best of him again.</p>
<p>Limited to only fifteen starts, deGrom was expected to be back at full strength in time for the start of the season. Now, it seems like<strong> he’s suffered a big setback</strong> and may be forced to start the season on the shelf again.</p>
<p><em><strong>“We are going to see how he is in the morning before we scratch him,”</strong></em> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/new-york-mets-to-retire-number-17-in-honor-of-keith-hernandez-here-are-5-of-the-captains-best-moments-20220112-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mets</a> manager BuckShowalter told the media.<em><strong> “But he has to be pretty convincing to pitch him (Friday). I’ll be surprised if he pitches (Friday) — rain or no rain.”</strong></em></p>
<h2>Mets Scratch Jacob deGrom From Friday’s Start</h2>
<p><strong><em>“Mets ace Jacob deGrom will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder Friday after he felt some tightness while playing catch on Thursday, manager Buck Showalter said. New York scratched deGrom from his scheduled spring training start on Friday,”</em></strong> reported The Athletic.</p>
<p><em><strong>“The right-hander, the best pitcher in baseball in the first half of last year, missed the final three months of the 2021 season because of forearm and elbow injuries. DeGrom had a 1.08 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 92 innings over 15 starts last season,”</strong></em> the report added.</p>
<h2>What’s Next For deGrom?</h2>
<p>Jacob deGrom is set to make north of<strong> $33.5 million this season.</strong> He signed afive-year, $137.5 million contract in 2019 but is expected to opt out after this campaign, although he admitted his desire to stay with the Mets for life.</p>
<p>There’s no denying that he’s the <strong>best pitcher in baseball</strong> by a long stretch when healthy, but constant injury concerns might take a toll on his market value, especially if he can make at least 20 starts in 2022.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLB</strong></a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/2021-mlb-season-schedule-predictions-odds-dates-tv-and-live-stream-20210331-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a> finally arrived and all the excitement that anew baseball season brings is back. Before the kick-off, as the first games come closer, it’s time for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-rookies-to-watch-in-mlb-in-2021-20210330-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predictions</a> ahead of a new championship, in which every team will try to push for a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/2021-mlb-playoff-format-how-the-baseball-postseason-will-be-played-20210331-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playoff</a> spot.</p>
<p>Asides from making picks regarding the champions, the individual awards also play an important part in the season recognizing the best performances in the MLB. <strong>The Cy Young is the annual award forthe best pitchers both from the American League and the National League</strong>.</p>
<p>This honor started to take place in 1956, paying tribute to the Hall of Famer pitcher Cy Young, who died in the previous year. Many unforgettable players were distinguished since then, and withthe 2021 campaigngetting underway, <strong>we’ll take a look at the potential best pitchers from both leagues</strong>.</p>

<h2>AL – Gerrit Cole (New York Yankees)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_gerrit_cole.jpg_22993414_da418f78.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Gerrit Cole never won the Cy Young award so far (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Gerrit Cole is among the strongest candidates <strong>for getting the first Cy Youngin his career</strong>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Yankees</strong></a> granted him the best contract ever for a pitcher in the league, and that explains a lot the talent he has. He amassed 1,430 strikeouts so far, with a 101-55 win-loss record and an earned run average of 3.19.</p>
<p>Despite the three-time MLB All-Star already accomplished important marks, like in 2019 when he ended as the strikeout leader of the season, <strong>Cole still couldn’t achieve the recognition as the best pitcher of the year</strong>. This season may be an opportunity for him to deserve it, in a year in which the Yankees will need to have a good finish as well.</p>
<h2>AL – Lucas Giolito (Chicago White Sox)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_lucas_giolito.jpg_22993414_cf28379b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Lucas Giolito could be the surprise in 2021 (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>With a fastball clocked as high as 100 miles per hour</strong>, Giolito is a much younger pitcher who impressed a lot since he came into baseball’s elite level. His name got into the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chicago-white-sox-t121775" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>White Sox</strong></a>‘s history for becoming the 19th player to throw a no-hitter, in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in which he accomplished more than 10 strikeouts.</p>
<p>He may seem like a less likely candidate on this list, but <strong>he shouldn’t be disregarded in the race for this award</strong>. Giolito still finds himself in an early stage of his career, but he couldbe the surprise in2021.</p>
<h2>AL – Shane Bieber (Cleveland Indians)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_bieber.jpg_22993414_1a31670a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Shane Bieber (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Bieber moved up fast in the MLB</strong>, as only in his second year in the league he got called up to the All-Star Game, and in 2020, he received the Cy Young award.</p>
<p>Indians’ No. 57 had an impressive breakout season last year, in which <strong>he earnedrecognition as the best pitcher of the American League in great fashion</strong>. Bieber claimed a <strong>Triple Crown</strong> by being the AL’s leader in wins, earned run average, and strikeouts. Will he claim the Cy Young for the second time in a row?</p>
<h2>NL -Jacob deGrom (New York Mets)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_jacob_degrom_1.jpg_22993414_d4382cde.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jacob deGrom will try to win back the prize (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most dominating pitchers in the entire MLB, <strong>deGrom immediately had an impact in the league</strong>, becoming the Rookie of the Year in his debut season. Later on, he took part in three All-Star eventsand got the<strong> Cy Young award in back-to-back seasons</strong> in 2018 and 2019.</p>
<p>deGrom finished as the strikeouts leader in the NL in the last two seasons, despite he couldn’t grab the best pitcher of the year trophy in 2020. Needless to say, <strong>he is an obvious contender for this year’s award</strong>.deGrom has everything to win itonce again.</p>
<h2>NL – Trevor Bauer (Los Angeles Dodgers)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_trevor_bauer.jpg_22993414_507dc0fe.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Bauer impressed with the Reds before signing with the Dodgers (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>In the unforgettable 2020 season in which the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dodgers</a> won the World Series, <strong>Trevor Bauer was unstoppable</strong> playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cincinnati-reds-t123535" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cincinnati Reds</a>. <strong>He became the first pitcher in that franchise’s history to win the Cy Young</strong> award.</p>
<p>Bauer led the NL in earned run average, made it to the All-MLB First Team, and called the attention of that season’s champions. The Dodgers secured the best pitcher of 2020 for the upcoming seasons looking to fight for thesecond title in a row.</p>
<h2>NL – Max Scherzer (Washington Nationals)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210401_BUS_169783_max_scherzer.jpg_22993414_ee456c21.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Scherzer is considered one of the best pitchers ever (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Scherzer is not only one of the best pitchers at the moment, but <strong>one of the greatest in baseball’s history</strong> as well. His rèsumè speaks for itself. Asides from being named anAll-Starseven times, <strong>he is the pitcher with the most Cy Young awards on this list</strong>, as he earned it three times.</p>
<p>The 36-year-old has two no-hitters in his long career, and even though the last time he was awardedthe best pitcher of the league award, the veteran led the Nationals to the World Series title in 2019.</p>

<p>The Amazin’ Mets or the Miracle <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-mets-t110386" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mets</strong></a> are a staple of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/sports/top-25-new-york-sports-teams-with-most-fans-20200429-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York sport scene</a>. At times, the little brother to the New York Yankees, but the Mets can stand on their own feet. Despite not having nearly as many championships as the Bronx Bombers the Mets have had an array of characters and top players over theyears.</p>
<p>What makes a player a fan favorite? It comes down to heart, hustle, or rising to the big occasion. Personality is extremely important especially if you are playing for a New York team. <strong>Roger McDowell</strong>, for example, will forever live in Mets lore as just one of the funniest characters any New York sports team ever had. <strong>Mookie Wilson</strong>, on the other hand, might have the most famous at bat in baseball history!</p>
<p>While creating this list was tough, we tried to take into account as many eras of the Mets as possible, without leaving out some memorable players. Without further ado, here are the top 10 all-time favorite<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/the-amazin-new-york-mets-and-their-nyc-inspired-mlb-soccer-jersey-20200821-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>New York Mets</strong></a>.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Whether it was his boyish looks or bright-eyed smile, fans were mesmerized or at times frustrated by the pitching ace. <strong>David Cone</strong> came to the Mets via the Royals in 1987 and wasn’t anything to really write home about. He always seemed nervous on the mound and looked like a boy amongst men on a team that had Ron Darling, Darryl Strawberry, and Gary Carter. Then he had a magnificent 1988 winning 20 games, and keeping the Mets NLCS hopes alive in Game 6 against the Dodgers. Cone also had his awkward moments, Game 2 of that series he was hit out of the park, and at times when lacking in confidence he would blow leads or give up a lot of runs. Still, he always seemed to be forgiven for any bad play and electrified the New York crowd at the height of his powers. For six years he was without question one of the best Mets on the roster, when he was traded to the Blue Jays, fans and Cone were in tears.</p>
<h2>9. Lenny Dykstra</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Nails, <strong>Lenny Dykstra</strong>, was everything you wanted in a New York player, he was good, he put his body at risk, and he could field and hit. Dykstra was all heart, blood, and guts for the Mets. Off the field he lived the New York lifestyle to its fullest, Dykstra was just loved by the fans. Many Mets fans have told stories that the day Dykstra was traded to Philadelphia, fathers had to sit sons and daughters down and tell them the news.</p>
<h2>8. Jacob deGrom</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_jacob_degrom_crop1614192659872.jpg_22069893_c07629e5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Jacob deGrom (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The makings of a legend <strong>Jacob deGrom</strong> is today what Dwight Gooden was in the 1980’s. The last two seasons deGrom has been the NL strikeout leader and fans are mesmerized by his magic on the mound. I mean he has “Jacob deGrom Hair Hat” days at Citi Field, so the aces stock is rising.</p>
<h2>7. Gary Carter</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_gary_carter_crop1614192626341.jpg_22069893_9984d9a7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gary Carter (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Kid, <strong>Gary Carter</strong>, his 1980’s teammates sometimes defined Carter as a “dork” on a team full of out-of-control ballplayers, he was the spiritual, professional, team leader. At the plate or catching, Carter was clutch, an example for all fans. No true Mets fan cannot have a place in their heart for one of the greatest New York Mets ever.</p>
<h2>6. Darryl Strawberry</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_darryl_strawberry_crop1614192586859.jpg_22069893_ac754f7f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Darryl Strawberry (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Darryl Strawberry</strong>, for all his flaws, on and off the field had fans and media at his feet. Straw had one of the most elegant swings in all of baseball. The man could hit it out of the park at will and looked good doing it. Strawberry had a tough personality, at times he would drive teammates, fans, and media crazy with his “am too good for all of you” style. Still, look at the stadium crowd then and now, and you will almost certainly see many jerseys with the number 18 and the last name Strawberry on them.</p>
<h2>5. David Wright</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_david_wright_crop1614192547619.jpg_22069893_94513046.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    David Wright (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>All the Wright stuff right here, <strong>David Wright</strong> was a franchise player, a 7-time all-star, an example, and team fan favorite. Unfortunately, Wright could never bring home a championship but left an everlasting legacy of sticking it out and being on top of your game with a team that did not have all the pieces in place. A stand-up ball player who loved the New York uniform.</p>
<h2>4. John Franco</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_john_franco_crop1614192513379.jpg_22069893_43475020.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    John Franco (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Greatest closer in Mets history, <strong>John Franco</strong> was and is beloved by Mets fans. He led the National League three times in saves, two of those years were down years for the Mets. A class act, a role model for the kids, Franco was there through the good and the many bad.</p>
<h2>3. Keith Hernandez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_keith_hernandez_crop1614192459737.jpg_22069893_8ed5fbaf.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Keith Hernandez (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The eternal Mets captain, <strong>Keith Hernandez</strong>, is most likely one of the most popular Mets of all time. Heart, soul, when things got tough Hernandez was there to pull the troops together. When the boys were out of control, he kept them on track. Keith Hernandez might be the most recognizable and most memorable team captain of any New York team.</p>
<h2>2. Mike Piazza</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_mike_piazza_crop1614192427054.jpg_22069893_00da0e5c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Mike Piazza (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>After Gary Carter, <strong>Mike Piazza</strong> took the mantle of the Mets shining example of professionalism and grit. When it was all said and done, Piazza had his number 31 retired, he got in Roger Clemens face in the subway series, and refused to call a grown man Chipper. Piazza gave Mets fans too many memories.</p>

<h2>1. Tom Seaver</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210224_BUS_168901_tom_seaver_crop1614192371757.jpg_22069893_28f28f83.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Tom Seaver (New York Times)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Can there be any other number 1? The late, great <strong>Tom Seaver</strong> was universally loved by everyone in New York and sports. Always a gentleman, a pro, and a man who gave back, Seaver had time to sign autographs and do interviews and just move the Mets brand forward whatever his capacity. Seaver is truly the New York Mets all time popular and franchise player.</p>
