NY Mets are strangely set up well to keep, not trade, Kodai Senga in 2026

Kodai Senga went from fan-favorite to questionable member of the New York Mets roster. His inability to stay healthy has turned him into a frustrating player. He could’ve been a difference-maker in each of the last two seasons, in 2024 for a playoff run and in 2025 if he didn’t suddenly implode after returning from his IL stint.

Cy Young-worthy when he’s on and much less so when he’s not, the odd thing about his placement with the Mets right now is how well-equipped they are to handle some of his misgivings.

When it comes to Senga, you need to have rotation depth.
