The New York Mets are focusing on starting pitching as a major offseason priority, with star Tarik Skubal being a top target. However, an insider explains that simply acquiring Skubal would not solve all of the team's pitching issues. SNY Mets reporter Chelsea Janes discussed the matter on "Foul Territory," revealing that while Skubal would be a valuable addition, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns also plans to bolster the back of the rotation.
Stearns wants depth to ensure he can shuffle out underperforming pitchers. Janes believes the Mets need two or three full-time starters and emphasizes that simply throwing money at the problem will not guarantee success. The team should consider more modest deals and explore options with options. Despite the hope for young pitchers like Nolan McLean, Christian Scott, and Zach Thornton, Janes advises against relying on their immediate stardom.
The Mets, who finished last in the NL East with a 74-88 record, are looking to significantly improve their starting rotation.
