The Mets still need top-of-the-rotation help, but how aggressive will David Stearns be?
, but most of their other moves have lacked excitement, fortifying their depth and the fringes of the roster, including in the rotation.raise the floor of their starting staff, the Mets still crave a top-of-the-rotation pitcher, which is currently led by Kodai Senga. If president of baseball operations David Stearns prefers to avoid paying top dollar for pitchers in their 30s, there’s a trade he could make for one who will come at a bargain salary, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney..
Vientos' breakout — after some yo-yo’ing to start his career — transformed the Mets' lineup. He posted a 135 OPS+ in the regular season thanks to 27 home runs, 77 RBIs and a .266/.322/.837 line. And he came up even bigger in the postseason with a .327/.362/.638 line and a team-high five home runs and 14 RBIs.
Still, in Olney’s trade, the Mets would acquire an ace for at least the next three years at $22.75 million annually,, which is well below market value. Lefty Max Fried, who is younger and better, got eight years and $218 million from the New York Yankees this offseason.
