The Mets need pitching help. Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer make the most formidable rotation duo in the big leagues, but relying on consistency from an oft-injured ace and a 37-year-old with 2,500 career innings pitched may not be a winning bet. The same goes for Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker, both brilliant pitchers at their peak whose recent injury history should concern the team. There’s also no clear fifth starter, which means at this point the Mets are going to have to turn to one or more of Tylor Megill, David Peterson, Trevor Williams, or Jordan Yamamoto for multiple starts.
The Mets should consider signing Yusei Kikuchi
