With spring training report dates and workouts quickly approaching, the Mets could still use at least one more starting pitcher. With Jacob deGrom at the top of the rotation and Carlos Carrasco, Marcus Stroman, and David Peterson following him, the rotation is already pretty strong. And the Mets do have reasonable options to fill the rotation in hand, as they have picked up Joey Lucchesi and Jordan Yamamoto in good depth moves. Noah Syndergaard is on track to return from Tommy John surgery sometime during the upcoming season, too.
The team would clearly be in a better position, though, if another good major league pitcher were added to the mix.
