The Mets are in a tough spot with their starting rotation, but they still have time to fix it. With Kodai Senga already a health concern and Frankie Montas sidelined for the foreseeable future, the team has a glaring need at the top of their staff.
While they’ve taken some risks on pitchers with upside, they’re lacking a true ace who can anchor the rotation. That’s why the trade market, specifically players like Dylan Cease or Michael King, remains an intriguing option.
Mets Have the Firepower to Make a Deal
The San Diego Padres have been open to trading pitching this offseason, and both Cease and King could be available for the right price.
