I am not sure how many years the mets have Matt Harvey under contract. However, I can see him jumping ship at the first moment he can go to a team that can score some runs. My greatest fear is he ends up with the Yankees because the Yankees will be one of the few teams that may be able to meet Boras' ( Harvey's Agent, UGH!!!!) demands for a 200 million contract. He has hinted he wants a life like Derek Jeter's.
With the Mets Harvey must pitch nearly perfect to get a win. He has at least 10 no-decisions at this time and has lost a some games in which he has pitched well. For those older fans, he is certainly Ron Darling-like in this regard. He may be the most dominant pitcher in the sport but will certainly not garner any attention when it comes to the CY YOUNG award. He has pitched well enough to have at least 13 victories maybe more at this time.
Harvey is the only reason I follow the Mets. The highlight for me was watching him live, dominate the Braves in the first game of doubleheader back in June. I hope the Mets have a plan for improvement that they can show Harvey and convince him to stay a Met.
With this being said, I really hope the Mets wait to to give him the big money extension until he has another great season next year.
