BREAKING: The New York Mets are reportedly looking to part ways with All-Star pitcher Kodai Senga after two tumultuous seasons, raising eyebrows across Major League Baseball. According to USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale, the Mets are eager to move on from Senga as they seek significant changes to their struggling rotation.
The Mets, who shockingly missed the postseason in 2023, are evaluating their roster after a disappointing year. Senga’s performance has been a rollercoaster, starting the season with the highest ERA in the majors but faltering due to injuries. Senga boasts a remarkable 2.98 ERA as a rookie but saw that number climb to 4.73 ERA after returning from a hamstring injury that limited his effectiveness.
The Mets’ management is reportedly weighing options, including trading Senga to potentially acquire outfield help or to clear space for emerging young pitchers. Despite his struggles, Senga has proven to be one of the top pitchers when healthy, making his potential departure a significant loss for the Mets.
As The Athletic‘s Will Sammon reports, Senga himself is resistant to a trade, but the ultimate decision rests with the Mets organization. With teams likely to overlook Senga’s injury history, the Mets could find a market for the talented pitcher who once dazzled fans with his early-season form.
The Mets are expected to be active in the pitching market, and this potential move could set the stage for a major overhaul. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the Mets navigate this critical offseason.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
