Blake Snell

The New York Mets choices are a bit out of this world right now, especially with interest from other teams. So in order to balance out the trade targets, it’s imperative to add more realistic trade partners when looking for pitchers. The Tampa Bay Rays are yet another team in a rebuilding era and it’s high time that teams such as the Rockies think about becoming trade partners.

Blake Snell is having a great season despite being on a team that’s struggling. He currently has an ERA of 2.27 in 119 innings pitched, while he’s racked up 134 strikeouts. It’s been such a good year for him that he made the All-Star team for the first time in just three years of pitching. At 25, he’s on his way to becoming a top-tier pitcher … but only if with the right team. If the Rockies were to deal for him, they’d have control over him until 2023.
