Mets Rotation in Crisis

The Mets are in survival mode for their starting rotation, scrambling to patch together a lineup after trading David Peterson and moving Kodai Senga to the bullpen. Freddy Peralta, Nolan McLean, and Sean Manaea are the current top three, despite shaky performances — McLean was left in too long, Peralta’s last start was rough, and Manaea’s still a work in progress. Zach Thornton, with a solid minor league ERA but a shaky MLB debut, could be called up to fill Peterson’s spot — a move that could be temporary or a stepping stone. Christian Scott, recovering from a hip injury, is back and pitching well since his rough debut, offering a glimmer of hope. With Clay Holmes out until August and possibly trade bait, the Mets may bring up prospects like Jonah Tong or Jack Wenninger. And with playoff hopes fading, expect tough decisions — including potential trades — that could make the rotation younger but not necessarily better.
