The New York Mets are focusing on rebuilding their rotation this offseason, potentially losing three key pitchers. They have extended qualifying offers to Sean Manaea and Luis Severino, while Jose Quintana is also a free agent. Manaea is expected to decline his offer, while Severino may accept it.
The current rotation includes Kodai Senga and David Peterson, with options like Paul Blackburn and Tylor Megill. The Mets are eyeing free agents like Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, and Blake Snell, as well as trade targets like Garrett Crochet.
Walker Buehler, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is a notable free agent option. While his 2024 performance was subpar, his past success indicates he could bounce back. If he regains form, he could be a valuable addition to the Mets' rotation.
