"Bringing Littell in gives Carlos Mendoza another arm to turn to at the back end of his rotation. If nothing else, his experience makes him a good emergency option."
"Littell's ERA is higher than all of the Mets' starters, but playing with their offensive support could help the 29-year-old bounce back after a rough start."
In 2025, the New York Mets' starting pitching has unexpectedly excelled, but with injuries affecting key players, the possibility of rotation upgrades looms. Under David Stearns' leadership, the Mets have demonstrated a knack for improving underperforming veterans like Griffin Canning. As they await reinforcements from injured pitchers like Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas, some analysts suggest targeting the Tampa Bay Rays' Zack Littell, an experienced pitcher with potential to bolster the rotation. Littell's performance could improve with the Mets' strong offensive backing, making him a strategic trade target ahead of the deadline.
