New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman announced Monday that he is opting out of the 2020 season.
The right-hander becomes the second high-profile Mets player to opt out, joining Yoenis Cespedes, who opted out earlier this month.
Stroman, who was acquired by the Mets from the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline last season, has not pitched this season because of a torn calf muscle.
Stroman has accrued enough service time to qualify for free agency after this season.
