Part 5/12:
Despite these concerns, Senga’s trade value remains high—primarily due to his remaining arbitration-controlled contract and the potential for a productive season elsewhere. With just two years and $30 million left on his deal, he offers an attractive package for teams seeking quality pitching at a cost below the market rate. As the Mets look to add a frontline starter in free agency or via trade, moving Senga could open rotation spots and help the club rebuild depth.
Key considerations for the Mets in dealing Senga include:
Opening a spot for more established free agent aces.
Recouping value on a pitcher with high upside but injury risk.
Addressing other organizational needs, like bullpen depth.
