Stearns said nothing by saying a lot. I think there will be two top arms in this rotation from the outside. McClean obviously proved he is ready for the Bigs. I can’t say that yet with Sproat and Tong. The Mets aren’t going to pay Pete 35mil to be DH. I felt Stearns turned negative at the end of the presser on Pete. Diaz will be brought back and that will get done. To me Jarren Duran has to be a target. He was available at the deadline and is the odd man out in Boston. He hit 18hr with 84 rbis along with 11 triples. While playing golf glove defense. Vientos plus can get that deal done in my opinion. Skubal can be had as the contract neg have gone nowhere in Detroit. King and Cease also are FA same with Framber Valdez. There are a few more arms out there too. The Mets NEED 2 aces plus McClean gives them a great rotation with Manaea and Petersen as 4/5. Manaea obviously has surgery in the off season. Holmes? If he can’t go more than 5 is he really a starter? Trade Senga for anyone that will take on the contract for a bag of balls. I’m happy Stearns realizes now he cannot build a rotation around him. That’s a big start. We will all dream of the players we want in the off season and make the trades for this team as we play GM but the team NEEDS run prevention. That begins with starting pitching. Period.
