I’m with you here. When Senga is on he’s one of the top pitchers in the game but as Stearns said they cannot count on 30 starts from the guy and can he post every 5 days? The Mets have pitched him on 6 days rest as much as possible which screws with the rest of the rotation. If he needs to be included in a trade to get a real ace back then I’d be ok with that but to trade him just for the sake of getting him gone would be a mistake at this point. I think he understands now he needs to step up and did do everything for the sake of the team when he got demoted. Mebbe this is the wake up call he needed to bear down and pitch like his career is on the line because it it.
Let's indulge ourselves in a series of bouncebacks/repeats: Senga pitches like his first 13 starts, Vientos hits like it's 2024, Alvarez hits like when he returned to the bigs and stays on the field, Polanco repeats his 2025, Semien finds the fountain of youth, Baty repeats his 2nd half, Manea repeats 2024, Peterson repeats 2025 before August, Holmes discovers how to last past the 5th inning, Williams recovers his pre-2025 glory, and one of our blue-chip prospects turns out to be the real deal. That's only about ten "ifs". All we know for sure is that Soto and Lindor will do their part. That's why we need to sign Tucker. David Stearns, are you listening?
Methinks it's an easy decision to keep Senga for another shot, given how costly starting pitching is and the likelihood that they could only get peanuts for him after his last couple of years. "...one particular blade in the ever-churning rumor mill" prompted an in-depth study on my part and it is true that various modern-day mills use blades. Traditional mills used stones, not blades, and there's a bounty of idioms that derive from them: https://blog.bakewithzing.com/popular-stone-milling-idioms/. Stones or blades, Happy New Year and sign Tucker!

That is a lot of “If’s”. I’m just asking/hoping for one here. Lol
