Pitching-rich Mets have real chance to win first World Series in 30 years

As the 2016 MLB season approaches, SN's Jesse Spector will examine each team's outlook. Today: the Mets.

2015: 90-72, first place in National League East, lost to Royals in World Series

Key arrivals: LHP Antonio Bastardo, SS Asdrubal Cabrera, OF Alejandro De Aza, 2B Neil Walker

Key departures: OF Michael Cuddyer, 2B Daniel Murphy, LHP Jon Niese, 3B Juan Uribe

Best-case scenario: Every member of the young rotation gets even better, and when Zack Wheeler makes his return from Tommy John surgery, Bartolo Colon slides into the bullpen and becomes a valuable part of the relief corps.
