He struggled mightily in 20, and the Mets traded him to Cincinnati in 2018. However, Harvey wasn’t the same pitcher after that 2015 season. He required Tommy John Surgery in 2014, but returned in 2015 to help New York win the National League pennant. Harvey arrived as one of the Mets top prospects in 2012 and took the city by storm, totaling an ERA under 2.50 in his first 36 starts.

The veteran first debuted with the Mets in 2012 and pitched for nine seasons in the league. Former starting pitcher Matt Harvey has announced his retirement from Major League Baseball at 34 years old, he announced on Instagram.
