The New York Mets, like many teams around baseball, are gunning for Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. But the team will still "pursue a frontline starting pitcher" if they're unable to land him, according to Andy Martino of SNY.
Per that report, the Mets are "intensely focused on Yamamoto" and "continuing to pursue rotation depth in the vein of the Luis Severino signing" but would only pursue players like Jordan Montgomery, Eduardo Rodriguez and Blake Snell if they don't land Yamamoto.
