2023 Fantasy Outlook
As is their typical modus operandi, the A's traded Bassitt last spring entering his final season before free agency. The Mets brought him aboard and Bassitt led the team to 15 wins during the regular season, pitching to a 3.42 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 181.2 innings spanning a career-high 30 starts. Bassitt is not the type of pitcher that typically wows you with his stuff, but he does a good job keeping hitters off balance and limiting hard contact with his diverse pitch arsenal (sinker, cutter, slider, curveball, four-seam, changeup). He also rarely shoots himself in the foot with walks. While he lacks the dominance of a frontline fantasy arm, there is a lot to like here with the late bloomer. New York liked what it saw enough to extend Bassitt the $19.65 million qualifying offer for 2023, which he wisely declined. He ended up getting three years and $63 million from Toronto, where he slots in as the No. 3 starter. Read Past Outlooks

Heads to Toronto
The Blue Jays signed Bassitt to a three-year, $63 million contract Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The righty will be a valuable addition to the middle of Toronto's already-strong starting rotation. Bassitt had a 3.42 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 167:49 K:BB in 181.2 innings with the Mets in 2022, numbers which fully merit the roughly $21 million in annual average salary he'll be due. He joins a remarkably tough division in the AL East, but the NL East was no slouch, either, so it shouldn't change his 2023 outlook too drastically.

After finishing eighth in AL Cy Young voting during the shortened 2020 season, Bassitt was able to ride his momentum into another strong campaign in 2021. Relying primarily on a three-fastball mix (sinker, cutter, four seam) complemented by a slider and curveball, he struck out a quarter of the batters he faced while posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 157.1 innings. After making his first career All-Star Game appearance, Bassitt had his season viciously halted when he was struck by a line drive that caused multiple facial fractures in mid-August. Initially thought to be a season-ending injury, the right-hander displayed impeccable determination in returning to the mound to make a pair of starts in late September. Bassitt will hope to continue those trends in 2022 after the A's traded him to the Mets shortly after the end of the lockout.
