Late last night, the news broke that the Mets had reached a five-year, $75 million agreement with right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga, the latest in a flurry of moves to significantly fortify the team’s roster for 2023 and beyond. With that, it appears the Mets’ rotation for the start next season is set, and it looks something like this:
- Justin Verlander
- Max Scherzer
- Kodai Senga
- José Quintana
- Carlos Carrasco
Assuming that is the case, that bumps left-handed pitcher David Peterson and right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill down the starting pitching depth chart, alongside Elieser Hernández, who joined the Mets via trade in November.
