This part is pretty simple. Matz is under team control with the Mets for two more years before he becomes arbitration eligible in 2019. There are absolutely no rumors out there that he’ll be traded and he’s a valuable piece to this roster.

What happens down the line if the injury issues persist could be another story. For now, Matz is a Met and will be for the foreseeable future. Matz will have every opportunity to land a sizable contract down the line with his promise that we’ve highlighted throughout.
