Mets May Try To Contend While Also Trading Starting Pitching

Kodai Senga is just coming off an injury, (We don't need any more injured players) but Returns in August.

Christian Scott looks like a good possibility. (Probably the best of the 3)

Jose Butto looks ok also but a little wild, That is why he was demoted. But could be better than 1/2 of our current pithers.

Those aren’t the pitchers they are shopping. They would be shopping Severino, Quintana, Manaea and would have Senga, Scott and Butto as guys that would go into their rotation if any of the former 3 were traded.

Id love to grab Manaea AND Severino at the cost of Joey Wiemer’s potential if Stearns would be so inclined…

Im ready for Perkins to be penned in the next few years roster either as a starter or as a reserve, so I don’t feel the need to keep holding Wiemer if we can get two pretty good starters for the rest of the year. 

I could see the Mets doing this. They have Senga, Severino, Quintana, Manaea, Houser, Scott, Butto, and Peterson. I could see them trade Severino, Quintana, and Manaea and trade for a solid pitcher with some more control like Luzardo, Crochet, Fedde, etc.

Severino for Payamps and one of our young 2B/SS like Baez, Arienamo, or Guillarte would be close.

Payamps aint going to the Mets in a trade for severino or manaea.   They will want youth.   Again, Wiemer and a minimal piece for Severino and Manaea is a play to attempt.

It figures it is Stearns they are going back to, to get the crap he has leftover since he is out of the race.
