You’re gonna hear a lot over the course of the 2023 season about the age of this Mets squad, and that is especially true of the starting rotation. The concern is not unwarranted—any team rolling the dice on four starting pitchers over the age of 34 is taking a pretty big gamble, even when some of those older guys are future Hall of Famers like Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. It’s all too easy to envision a scenario where Father Time catches up to one or more of those pitchers, in which case the Mets could find themselves in a tough spot.
