Mets Rotation Thoughts?
What do you guys think of the Mets rotation now that Sasaki is likely not joining?
I think we’re all used to having a real ace at the top of the rotation. Last year was the first season in a long time we didn’t have a top cy young candidate. Which is crazy to say, but from Dickey to Harvey thru Degrom years, we had someone basically every year. Even Senga was 7th in 2023. I know we still have him, but is Senga a true ace? He’ll need to prove that this year thru health + performance.
Love Manaea but he’s more of a very solid #2 or great #3. Not a #1.
Kinda sucks that we spent $30m or so on Holmes+Montas instead of $30m on Burnes.
Bottom of rotation we got Blackburn, Peterson - not bad.
But overall I’m definitely worried about our rotation and how it stacks up to Phillies, Braves - not to mention Dodgers. Am I wrong?
