Part 5/7:
Shifting gears, let's discuss José Quintana and his future with the Mets. Recent insights suggest that Quintana may be on the trading block, with Kansas City emerging as a potential landing spot. As Jim Bowden pointed out, the Royals are in need of a solid starting pitcher following the recent trade of Brad Singer to the Reds.

Quintana, who will turn 36 in January, fits the Royals' need for a veteran presence to stabilize their rotation. Given that the Mets are improving their staff, it seems Quintana's role in New York may be decreasing. Should the Mets part ways with him, they could aim for teams that can utilize his experience—something GM Billy Eppler has prioritized.
