"The Mets' rotation has underwhelmed, ranking 19th in the majors with a 4.24 ERA and tied for the sixth-highest walk rate at 10%."
"Christian Scott made his first big league start since Tommy John surgery but struggled, walking five hitters and hitting another before being removed."
"The uncertainty in the rotation may lead to the Mets exploring trades to bolster their offense, as significant trades are rare early in the season."
"Only Scott and Nolan McLean can be optioned from the rotation, while the bullpen has limited flexibility with only a few pitchers eligible for optioning."
The Mets' starting pitchers currently rank 19th in the majors with a 4.24 ERA and have the sixth-highest walk rate at 10%. Key pitchers Kodai Senga and David Peterson have underperformed, leading to Christian Scott's recent start, where he struggled significantly. The Mets are considering keeping Scott in the rotation for another start, but if needed, they may option him to Triple-A. The team's lack of flexibility and underperformance raises questions about potential trades to enhance the offense.
