The New York Mets are not planning on adding a top starter despite the news of Kodai Senga's shoulder strain, according to SNY's Andy Martino.
Mets president David Stearns said Thursday that Senga, who was expected to anchor the rotation, would instead begin the 2024 season on the injured list.
But Stearns added that the Mets aren't planning on replacing him with a pitcher outside the organization.
That's in part due to the 110 percent luxury tax the Mets would pay on every dollar spent on free agent candidates like Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery, according to Martino.
