Parallel to the lineup discussions, the state of the starting pitching market is facing upheaval. Recent rumors indicate that premium pitchers like Corbin Burns might be available, which has caught the Mets’ attention given their resources. If a deal emerges that could see Burns join the team on a favorable contract, it would substantially improve the Mets’ pitching rotation and solidify their competitive stance for the upcoming season.
Analysts have noted that the Mets could benefit immensely from acquiring a pitcher of Burns’ caliber. With the right contract negotiations, a deal for an ace pitcher could help to bolster the Mets’ trajectory towards acquiring more talent while maintaining a competitive roster.
