Max joins Pedro and maybe Johan before him as all-world pitchers who joined the Mets after their peaks had decidedly been reached. Warren Spahn was one of the earliest I could think of. Does Seaver 2.0 count?

Randy Jones?



Tom Glavine?

Glavine, grrr... Yeah, both good shouts.

Mickey Lolich doesn't count as "all-world," but he certainly had a significant run with the Tigers before his lone shitty Met season.

Bret Saberhagen.

Bartolo Colon may be the most senior of them all and well past his Cy Young Award-winning peak, but still was pretty darn good.

If Saberhagen counts, then so does Frank Viola.

I don't think Viola counts. He was 29 and still in his prime when he came to the Mets. His prime didn't last much longer, but his first full season with them matches up very well with his best years in Minnesota. I guess Saberhagen was on the downslope, with trouble staying healthy, but he gave them one Cy Young quality season, and he was only 30 then.
