"Mets right-hander Kodai Senga has indicated to the club that he would prefer to remain in Queens for next season rather than be traded elsewhere this winter, according to a report from Will Sammon of The Athletic. Sammon adds, however, that the Mets might still trade him this offseason. Senga's contract includes a ten-team no-trade clause that gives him limited say over where he can be traded."
"That's solid production for a starter as it is, and the fact that Senga will make just $28MM over the next two years (with an affordable club option for the 2028 season) figures to make Senga all the more attractive given that last year's free agent market saw one-year rolls of the dice on veterans with health or age question marks like and Charlie Morton cost $15MM."
"That shouldn't be taken to mean there aren't complicating factors at play, of course. After all, the Mets themselves are in need of top-of-the-rotation impact in their rotation. They wouldn't consider dealing Senga at this juncture if there wasn't some cause for concern. Talented and productive as the right-hander clearly is, Senga has been unreliable during his time in Queens. He's made just 52 starts at the big league level across three season"
Kodai Senga prefers to remain with the Mets rather than be traded, though the Mets may still move him this offseason. His contract contains a ten-team no-trade clause that gives him limited control over destinations. Senga, who turns 33 in January, has drawn rival interest while the Mets remain open to offers. He has a career 3.00 ERA and 3.82 FIP in three major-league seasons, including a 3.02 ERA in 22 starts this year. Senga is owed $28MM over the next two years with a 2028 club option. He has made just 52 starts across three seasons.
