The New York Mets have emerged as top contenders in Major League Baseball, boasting a strong lineup and a notable 38-23 start, primarily driven by their effective pitching rotation. Despite strong early performances from starters like Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes, concerns exist about potential regression. To bolster their pitching staff ahead of the trade deadline, writer Terrence Jordan suggests pursuing Zac Gallen from the Diamondbacks, a former All-Star facing free agency, who could be a valuable addition to ensure the Mets are postseason-ready.
At his worst, Gallen could be an innings eater to keep the rest of the rotation fresh for October, but he also has sizeable upside as a bounce-back candidate.
Clay Holmes is one start away from setting his personal high in innings pitched, and we've all seen how fragile Kodai Senga can be.
The Mets' lineup stands out as one of the most talented in the league, but it's been their rotation that's carried them to a 38-23 start.
Zac Gallen is a potential target for New York as the 2023 Cy Young finalist is scheduled for free agency this winter.
