Joel Sherman NY Post: Intricate David Stearns plan in play with Mets’ short-term pitching deals. "While they are prioritizing 2025 and beyond, the Mets have stated they want to contend in 2024. Thus, they were willing to take on some 2024 volatility in the rotation for the potential upside."
Yahoo Sports/Mets:
- John Harper SNY.TV: Scouts evaluate Sean Manaea, Mets' starting rotation in 2024 - "Sean Manaea might be a 'sneaky good signing,' as one MLB talent evaluator told [Harper] Sunday. But even if that’s the case, it’s now as clear as can be that the Mets are indeed taking a step back in 2024...'Even with good health I’d suspect you’ll see them need to use 10 or 11 starters,' one scout says...'they’re going to need more dependable relievers than they have now if they want to be competitive'".

Juan Gonzalez, turning down the
Mets offer worth a million dollars more with no money deferred, agrees to a
$24 million, two-year deal with the Rangers, which includes $10.5 million in
deferred payments. The outfielder, who prefers to stay in the American League,
established franchise records in Texas for home runs, RBIs, total bases, and
extra-base hits while playing for the club from 1989-1999. |
