General Manager David Stearns emphasized the importance of making calculated decisions, as the team eyes generational talent like Juan Soto and seeks to rebuild their starting rotation.

While Corbin Burnes stands out as a premier pitcher, concerns about his declining strikeout rate and potential contract length may lead the Mets to reconsider a major investment.
