Part 3/8:
In terms of performance and suitability for the Mets, King may have the edge over Cease. The 29-year-old is coming off an impressive season with a 2.95 ERA and has achieved significant pitching milestones, including a career-high 170 innings pitched. His statistics show an ability to manage games effectively, and whilst he may not have the same track record of innings consistency as Cease, King carries high upside potential, especially given his recent growth as a starter.
