Fernandez was the 2013 National League Rookie of the Year and went 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 2014 before needing to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Mets Looking to Deal

According to Ken Davidoff of the New York Post, the New York Mets are actively looking to trade one of their veteran starting pitchers, including Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese and Dillon Gee.
