Having a strong rotation is extremely important in today’s MLB, and both the New York Yankees and Mets know that. Most of their respective failures in recent seasons have been partially caused by a lack of depth or star power in the pitching corps.
The Mets have solved the star-power issue this offseason by pairing Jacob deGrom with fellow ace Max Scherzer, who put pen to paper on a three-year, $130 million contract. Now, they have to bring in at least a couple of extra hurlers for depth, as there is not much behind those two, David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Carlos Carrasco, and Taijuan Walker.
