The Mets’ starting rotation has changed quite dramatically over the course of the last few months. By the start of the 2020 season, the group was being held together by Jacob deGrom and a dream. Rick Porcello and Michael Wacha were mid-rotation starters instead of back-end help that they had been signed to be. Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman had to be stretched out during the season due to injuries and opt-outs.
Now, the Mets have a rotation worthy of competing with the top dogs. Led as always by the best pitcher in baseball, Jacob deGrom, they have tried and true starters in Marcus Stroman and Taijuan Walker behind him.
