The team sent the 29-year-old left to the Blue Jays on Wednesday evening and received three interested parties who were still to be named, the Post confirmed.
The Mets have a one-year contract for 5.2 million US dollars in early December closed with Matz to avoid arbitration.
He struggled in the shortened COVID-19 season 2020, going 0-5 with 9.68 ERA in six starts and three reliefs. He lost his place in the starting rotation and ended up on the injured list with shoulder problems.
The Mets get right-handed pitchers Yennsy Diaz, Sean Reid-Foley and Josh Winckowski, who is the 27th prospect for the Blue Jays according to MLB.com
The Mets have strengthened an impressive rotation this off-season, adding Carlos Carrasco and Joey Lucchesi to a crew that includes Jacob deGrom, Marcus Stroman, David Peterson and Noah Syndergaard, who are expected to move from d. to a few months into the 2021 season he will return to surgery on Tommy John. Robert Gsellman and Seth Lugo will also fight for starts.
The free agent pitcher Trevor Bauer still looms over the Mets. The team made an offer to the 2020 Cy Young winner this off-season, though he’s also been linked to the Blue Jays, Angels, and Dodgers.
