Analysis:

The Mets' Opening Day starter in 2014, Gee missed close to two months with a lat strain and struggled to a 5.10 ERA and .275 BAA in 13 second-half starts (77.2 innings). He'll receive a nice raise in salary regardless, though it may be another team that pays Gee his $5.3 million, as the Mets are said to be shopping him around.
