Yes We Can

Griffin Canning is the newest Met. He was signed to a 1-year deal the other day and will be given a chance to make the starting rotation, which is what he’s been given in Anaheim thus far in his career but really hasn’t run with it consistently.

But the same could be said about some of the other palookas we saw last year. Look at it this way–he’s got a 1-year deal, he needs to turn his career around in order to make big money, he’s 28 and had success before. I don’t think it’s a bad risk.

Canning actually started this offseason with the Angels and was traded in the Jorge Soler deal to Atlanta, only to have the Braves release him. Canning has worn No. 47 throughout his career but looks like Frankie Montas has the inside track to that.
