When Frankie Montas investigated his options as a free agent, he called Sean Mania, his partner and fellow free agent.
He had a question about Mets and Jeremy Hefner.
“How about a pitching coach? How about the training staff? How about everyone?” Montas asked the previous rotation mate and A.
“”[Manaea] There was nothing to say about Jeremy, “said Montas this weekend at Amazine Day.
Mets wants to have set up a foundation for success all year by riding an unexpected NLCS last season. I hope that the Foundation will come to a reputation.
In general, players want to play with the team they pay (Steve Cohen is useful). They win (last year was a good start). And who and they will improve.
This last factor is very important and definitely indicated the biggest leap by Mets last season.
In the previous winter, they came out of OK and poor seasons for a modest free agent agreement in Mania and Luis Severino, respectively: Mania in two years of OK in OK and 28 million dollars. Severino has turned on for a year.
In the middle of the middle season, Mania dropped his arm slot and began to look like CY YOUNG's winner Christ Sale.
With the help of Mets's pitching mind, he brought the club to NLC and won his own CY Young votes.
His decision to opt -out was simple, and he got cash by returning to Queens for three years and $ 75 million.
Severeno has a 31 regular season start with a play -off, using an off -season plan designed by Mets, which was more aggressive than the Yankees era.
He pitched well, and importantly, he paid a total of 40 regular seasons in the past five seasons.
He signed a proof agreement, began to prove himself, and made it possible to get a contract with $ 67 million in three years.
Mets helped the pitchers develop, helped the team win, and helped those pitchers to make more money.
Other pitchers who want to grow have noticed this winter.
“They were Sevd and Sean Maniaia. You've seen what they can do,” said Mets development system. “These were not accidental. They knew what they were doing and succeeded.
“So, the past success -clearly speaking with Jeremy Hefner, his experience, what he can do, and how we can relate to each other, but they are good. Obviously, we have a lot of resources, so we can accumulate them all in the league.
Some of the reputation of Mets has survived for five years through the changes of several administration, and now the club is a pitching coach, a pitching coach, which is supported by the club hunted by the Yankees in this off -season. Includes.
Some of Mets's reputation includes other development -based personnel and technologies that have taken measures in the past few seasons.
Eric Jaigers, the vice president of pitching, led Port Scent Lucy's laboratory.
The job behind the scenes can sometimes be revealed by people like Mana Air and Severino, such as Christian Scott, who has promised before needing elbow surgery.
Mets did not pitch a perfect game last season -he brought Adrian Hauser and did not work -but the more he had a successful story he could boast, the more he could not develop in them. It will be easier to see as a destination for pitchers who think that there is.
Cohen's money supports land pitchers such as Montas from the pedestrian season and Holmes who pitched on the Yankees bullpen.
However, the increase in the reputation of pitchers to be a place to pitch can be a real recruitment tool.
“What combination with in -game experience? [the Mets are] Holmes said, “I think their development is a kind of story, even at the Big League level,” said Holmes.
