Mets Rotation: Better pitching options than Jason Vargas
New York Mets fifth starter Jason Vargas is coming off of a horrendous 2018 campaign. Upgrading with internal or external options would greatly benefit the Mets.
The New York Mets‘ 2018 campaign was disappointing given the expectations going into the season. However, the one major bright spot of the team was the starting pitching.
Zack Wheeler, who started the season in AAA Las Vegas and has had trouble staying healthy for an entire season, put up a dominant performance down the stretch. In the second half of the season, he had a 1.68 ERA and went 9-1.
