The New York Mets have had their fair share of bad luck when it comes to pitching injuries. While there’s optimism that AJ Minter will be ready for Opening Day, the same can’t be said for starters Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea. Losing key arms before the season even starts is like showing up to a marathon with a twisted ankle—far from ideal.
With that in mind, the Mets have taken a broad-strokes approach to fortifying their pitching staff. They’re casting a wide net, hoping that among the many arms they bring in, at least a couple will stick and contribute meaningfully.
