The New York Mets can consider them lucky last year with how healthy the starting pitching staff was. Not every year includes the kind of luck only seven rabbit’s feet stuffed with four-leaf clovers can provide.
In 2020, the Mets may inevitably have their starting pitching depth tested beyond the original five. They should have at least one arm in the big leagues stashed in the bullpen already—this role likely going to Michael Wacha.
Beyond him, we could always see the Mets turn to Seth Lugo or Robert Gsellman for help.
