The New York Mets have waited more than half a season for Carlos Carrasco to make his Big Apple debut. However, when he takes the mound Friday night, he may not even be the most notable recent addition to the Mets' roster.
The trade deadline will be freshly in the rearview mirror when Carrasco throws his first pitch for the Mets in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.
Carrasco (3-4, 2.91 ERA in 2020) is slated to oppose Sonny Gray (2-6, 4.50 ERA in 2021) in a battle of right-handers.
