The New York Mets are receiving trade interest for right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn amid their deep rotation. With six starters performing well, Blackburn is seen as the odd man out. As Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea approach return from rehab, the Mets could soon have eight healthy rotation options. This abundance complicates the decision-making process for the team, as established pitchers like Kodai Senga and David Peterson show strong performances, putting Blackburn's role in jeopardy despite possible spot starts in the near future.
The Mets currently have six starters capable of starting at least a dozen games, making Blackburn the odd man out for potential trade discussions.
With RHPs Montas and Manaea on rehab assignments, the Mets could have up to eight rotation options in a few weeks, complicating decisions.
