The Mets have reportedly had conversations with the Reds about a deal that would net them starting pitcher Tyler Mahle.
Yusei Kikuchi also may be a target for the Mets, but they are apparently not his strongest suitor at the moment.
Another trade target the Mets have reportedly done their homework on is Arizona’s Luke Weaver.
The above rumors certainly indicate that the Mets understand that they need to add to their starting pitching depth.
It is also worth considering whether the Mets would be best served making another big splash on offense.
