Part 5/6:
Broadening the Pitching Depth
Ureña adds to a rotation that already includes pitchers like Kodai Senga, David Peterson, and Clay Holmes, along with other potential starters such as Griffin Canning and Tyler Megill. His experience at the major league level sets him apart from some of the Mets' other options and could enhance the overall depth of the pitching scene.
Challenges and Future Considerations
While Ureña’s signing is a boon for depth, the Mets must still remain vigilant regarding their roster dynamics. With multiple pitchers on the comeback trail from injuries, evaluating who fits best as the season progresses will be essential. If Ureña performs well, it could lead to tough decisions regarding swingman roles and bullpen depth by mid-season.
