Mets would go for Julio Urías if he doesn’t follow Dodgers

The Mexican pitcher dodgers ace, Julio Uríasan agreement was reached with the Los Angeles team and they avoided going to arbitration after accepting US$14.25 million in salary for the 2023 season, in his last year of contract before heading to the free agency.

One of the teams that would be more interested in adding Urías to their starting rotationin case of not signing a contract extension with the Dodgers, are the New York Mets.

According to New York Post columnist Jon Heyman, the 26-year-old left-hander from Sinaloa could be one of the objectives to be signed by the Metropolitanswho currently have two of the best starting pitchers, as are the veterans: Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, both winners of three Cy Young Awards throughout their careers.

It seems likely that the Dodgers will consider offering a contract extension to “Culichi”, who has been their best arm on the team in recent years, even establishing himself in the Los Angeles rotation over Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw.

Urías, a native of the Sinaloan capital, Culiacán, comes off two outstanding seasons. In 2021 he led the majors in wins (20), while last tournament he claimed the National League ERA title with a solid 2.16.
