PT TOMORROW: NL East—Could Steven Matz soon be summoned to NY?

New York Mets

One has to wonder how much longer the Mets will wait to promote Steven Matz (LHP, NYM). The 23-year-old has been terrific so far this year with Triple-A Las Vegas (2.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 9.3 Dom, 3.5 Ctl, and 12% SwK% in 78.1 IP).

It could happen sooner rather than later.

The Mets have been trying to unload one of their starting pitchers, specifically Dillon Gee (RHP, NYM) or Jon Niese (LHP, NYM), but haven’t yet found a trade to their liking. The team designated Gee for asssignment on Monday.
