Part 8/13:
Reynolds and others see Gallon as someone who could stabilize the Mets’ rotation. The Mets’ current staff, featuring Cody Senga, David Peterson, and emerging talent Nolan Ryan, already has a solid foundation. Gallon could potentially serve as a reliable fourth or fifth starter, especially if he signs a short-term deal or a contract with an option.
The Financial and Prospect Cost
However, acquiring Gallon wouldn't come cheap. Experts estimate that he would command upwards of $20 million annually over a four- to five-year span—totaling around $100 million. Given his recent struggles, the risk is substantial. The Mets might be better served exploring younger, cheaper options or internal development, particularly considering their strong farm system.
