While some fans are hopeful there’s an upgrade to the starting staff before Opening Day, it now sounds doubtful that Brodie Van Wagenen has another trick up his sleeve. According to recent New York Mets rumors, the franchise in Flushing is unlikely to add any more starting pitching depth.
Per Van Wagenen in an interview with Andy Martino of SNY, there are “no plans to sign an additional starting pitcher.”
For those wishing to see Gio Gonzalez or even Dallas Keuchel in a Mets uniform in 2019, don’t hold your breath.
