Recent reports had the New York Mets inquiring about Washington Nationals’ ace Max Scherzer, who could potentially be available if the 2019 World Series champs decide they are too far off contention to go for it this year.
However, the Mets may not bring a top name for their starting rotation, and could instead focus on bringing one more medium-level arm to ensure there won’t be any depth issues. After all, they are very confident in Jacob deGrom’s health, and they seem to be pleased with Carlos Carrasco’s latest rehab start.
While Joey Lucchesi is out for the year, there is optimism that the Mets could have Noah Syndergaard back in September.
