Mets doubling down on their current pitchers is too risky

While it’s easy to romanticize and live in the past, 2015 was ultimately a disappointment. We fans along with the Mets front office need to move on from it.

At this point, It feels unlikely that we’ll ever see a rotation with all 5 young “aces”. If we do, it probably won’t meet our expectations of just a few years ago. It likely won’t be for long either.

With recent news suggesting that the Mets will not pursue additional starting pitching, the team is now painting themselves into a corner that only 2 years ago we couldn’t have been happier to be in.
