Stroman accepted his one-year, $18.9 million qualifying offer from the Mets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman was expected to hit the open market during the offseason, but he'll instead remain with the Mets on a one-year deal. The 29-year-old suffered a muscle cramp in his left calf during summer camp before opting out of the remainder of the 2020 season. Over 59.2 innings with the Mets in 2019, Stroman posted a 3.77 ERA and 60:23 K:BB, and he'll reclaim a prominent role in the starting rotation in 2021.
