Mets fans, an all-new episode is here!
This week, I’m joined by Mets beat reporter for FanNation and former MMO writer Pat Ragazzo! Pat and I discuss the Kodai Senga injury news and if the team will look to add more pitching help as well as the possibility of the Mets upgrading their DH before the season begins while Pat updates us on how Brett Baty and Mark Vientos have fared so far and much more!
With the news of Senga’s shoulder injury, might we see the Mets sign another significant starting pitcher before Opening Day? According to Pat, who you’re seeing now is who you’re going to get for the 2024 starting rotation, with room for minor league prospects to contribute:
“The Mets really don’t know how long Senga could be out, it could be months and that all depends on when his symptoms begin to subside, but David Stearns said in his press conference that he still expects Kodai to make a significant amount of starts for the Mets in 2024…now, the theme of today among fans has been to go and sign Jordan Montgomery or Blake Snell. The problem with that scenario is that the Mets would have to pay 110% luxury tax on every dollar of that contract if they were to sign a Snell or Montgomery, which would double the value figure of the contract, and the Mets are just not going to that, which is why Stearns said they are confident in the depth that they have within the organization and the rotation.”
