New York Mets 2021 Season Preview: The starting rotation is elite

Our 2021 preview series for the New York Mets continues today. How do you feel about the Mets’ starting rotation?

In 2019 the New York Mets had one of the worst rotations in MLB. Even with Jacob deGrom playing at his usual level, and a strong rookie campaign from David Peterson, the Mets were awful. Their team ERA of 5.37 was 26th in MLB.

That’s not going to be the case in 2021. The Mets return deGrom and Peterson, while also getting healthy. Marcus Stroman who missed the beginning of the 2020 season with a torn calf muscle, before opting out, returns on the qualifying offer.
