Rick Porcello: Closes curtains on career
Porcello confirmed Monday during his appearance on "The Bradfo Sho" podcast that he has retired from professional baseball.
Given that the 33-year-old didn't sign with a team following the 2020 season, Porcello's decision to confirm his retirement hardly comes as a surprise. Though Porcello's career ended on a down note with a 5.64 ERA over 12 starts for the Mets in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, the right-hander was a solid mid-rotation arm for the majority of his 12 years in the big leagues. He enjoyed his best season in 2016 with the Red Sox, as Porcello claimed the American League Cy Young Award that season after leading the circuit in wins (22) while posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 223 innings. Across stops with the Tigers, Red Sox and the Mets, Porcello accrued a lifetime 150-125 record, 4.40 ERA and 1,561 strikeouts over 2096.1 innings.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Tough end to season
Porcello (1-7) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up five runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk over three innings as the Mets fell 5-3. He struck out three.
The veteran right-hander has had a miserable season in New York, posting a career-worst 5.64 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 59 innings with a 54:15 K:BB. Given that he is on a one-year contract, it seems unlikely he'll be back with the Mets in 2021.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Starting Game 2
Porcello will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Porcello was unable to start Friday after the game was rained out, but he'll make his final start of the regular season during Saturday's nightcap with Jacob deGrom starting Game 1. Porcello posted a season-high 10 strikeouts in his last start but was charged with an unlucky loss.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Unlucky loser Sunday
Porcello (1-6) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings as he was charged with the loss Sunday against Atlanta.
Porcello had one of his best starts of the year Sunday as he logged a season-high 10 strikeouts and only allowed a single run in the sixth inning. However, the Mets didn't provide any run support, and the bullpen struggled late in the contest. The 31-year-old now has a 5.46 ERA and 51:14 K:BB over 56 innings this year. His final start of the regular season should come on the road Friday against the Nationals.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Falls to Phillies
Porcello (1-5) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings as the Mets were downed 4-1 by the Phillies. He struck out five.
The right-hander remains winless over his last seven starts, although much of that is due to bad luck and minimal run support -- Porcello's only served up three homers in 49 innings this season, and his .390 BABIP has led to a 6.06 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, but only a 3.11 FIP. He'll look for a better result in his next outing Sunday, at home against Atlanta.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Escapes loss
Porcello allowed five runs on 10 hits while striking out three across four innings against the Orioles on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision.
It seemed as though the Orioles were hitting almost everything Porcello was throwing at them. He gave up two runs on four hits in the first inning and then allowed three more runs on back-to-back hits (double and then a single) in the third. The 32-year-old fortunately was able to get through a clean fourth before manager Luis Rojas threw in the towel and called upon his bullpen to finish out the game. Wednesday's outing marked the second time this season Porcello has given up 10 hits in an outing as the right-hander is currently sporting a career-worst 6.07 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 43 innings.

Mets' Rick Porcello: Quality start wasted Friday
Porcello didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.
The 32-year-old needed exactly 100 pitches (65 strikes) to deliver his third quality start of the season, but he exited the game with the score tied 2-2 and had to watch as Jared Hughes gave the game away in the seventh and eighth. Porcello has done an excellent job of keeping the ball down and in the park this year -- his 0.46 HR/9 would be a career low -- but a .366 BABIP has saddled him with a 5.54 ERA that's almost double his 2.95 FIP. He'll look for better luck in his next outing Wednesday, at home against the Orioles.
