Mets fans everywhere perhaps didn’t see this one coming. Bartolo Colon has signed with the Atlanta Braves and continues to aging.
Baseball is never really over per se but these off season trades and signings are going to be extra. With so many candidates choosing to opt out, their final destination shall be interesting. The latest move comes from free agent Bartolo Colon as he perhaps broke many Mets fans’ hearts with a one year deal to the Braves. If I may interject, the Braves rotation just got a hell of a lot older since they also signed RA Dickey.
Both pitchers prove that they aren’t quite done with their MLB careers as Colon is 43 and RA Dickey is 42. Colon banked in heavy for a one year deal though.
