I did not take a long look at the starting pitcher market when I devised my ‘Mets Offseason Plan’ because I did not think it was a route of priority. The signing of Luis Severino (1 year/ $13 million) and the report that the Mets will continue pursuing some other starting pitchers got me thinking. Who are other fits and why should the Mets spend time going after them? Sean Manaea is really the one and only player that stuck out to me. I will explain soon, but let's explore the context of this Mets roster first. We already have an influx of back end rotation guys and lack frontline starters. Senga is the only frontline starter on roster and our backend personnel consists of LHPs Jose Quintana, Joey Lucchesi, David Peterson (injured, back in June) and RHPs Jose Butto, Tylor Megill and now Luis Severino.
