Part 4/6:
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises during this offseason has been the signing of Corbin Burns by the Arizona Diamondbacks for six years at $210 million. The hosts voiced their feelings of regret that the Mets weren't in contention for Burns, particularly given the value of this contract in terms of the pitcher's effectiveness. This raises questions surrounding the Mets’ pitching staff and where they stand as the new season approaches.
Despite the current roster being in a place of uncertainty, fans are reminded that acquiring rotation help can happen mid-season, and the Mets should remain competitive even without a prototypical ace as Opening Day approaches.
