Will Justin Wilson, Shawn Kelley & Todd Walker Be With Their New Clubs in July?

A few interesting free agent signings worth noting over the past week.

Late last week, veteran lefty reliever Justin Wilson signed a 2-year, $10 million deal with the New York Mets. Over the weekend, veteran righty reliever Shawn Kelley signed a one year, $2.75 million deal with the Texas Rangers with an option for 2020. And earlier today, infielder Neil Walker signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Miami Marlins.

I think all three of these signings are good. But I wonder if any of them will be with the new their clubs by the end of July. All three players were in the post-season in 2018 with Wilson in a Cubs uniform, Kelley in the A's kelly green after beginning the year in D.C. and Walker in Yankee pinstripes. But Walker and Kelley join teams that finished in last place while Wilson joins a team that was one of MLB's biggest disappointments in 2017. If the Mets, Marlins and Rangers aren't in contention by the trade deadline, I believe all three players will be wearing different uniforms at the end of 2019. Call it my first prediction of the season.
