With the Mets‘ rotation likely to take a considerable hit come the August 1st trade deadline, the blue and orange will undoubtedly have to add to their rotation this coming offseason.
Even if Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander stay in Queens past August 1st, there will be a hole in the rotation next season, with Carlos Carrasco set to become an unrestricted free agent.
The likes of Julio Urias, Blake Snell, and Shohei Ohtani will likely be available on the open market, but what if the Mets went overseas for the second straight season to sign a Japanese pitcher?
