Mets Eye Two Japanese Stars | New York Mets News

The Mets are hot on the trail of Japan’s NPB stars Teruaki Sato and Hiroto Saiki, both Hanshin Tigers phenoms poised to reshape MLB. Sato, just 27, is crushing it with a .300+ average, 40 homers, and 100+ RBIs — and he’s already an MVP. Saiki, the ace with a 2.00+ ERA and strikeout machine, could be the missing piece to the Mets’ rotation.

The Mets’ last NPB gem, Kodai Senga, showed promise but battled injuries — making this duo’s potential even more tantalizing.
