When Will the New York Mets Have a True “Ace” Again?

Who will be the New York Mets’ ace this season? Clay Holmes gets the opening-day nod, but Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea are in the mix.

The Mets lack a clear-cut ace for the future, unlike past eras with Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, and Jacob deGrom. Host Ryan Finkelstein analyzes potential trade targets, including Sandy Alcantara, and debates the merits of trading top prospects Brandon Sproat or Jett Williams for an established ace.

Will the Mets make a bold move at the trade deadline to bolster their rotation? Get the full breakdown of the Mets’ pitching situation and potential moves in this episode of Locked On Mets.

  1. Senga was supposed to be that guy. I guess we gotta give him some time throughout the season? IDK. Or Sean Manaya? But I really believe in Clay Holmes.

  2. Aces are great up until they need TJ surgery and give you zero to very little production for the better part of two years. I like how Stearns is running things. No need to force the issue for an ace for the time being.

  3. Tactical pitching a la LAD/Dave Roberts' deployment of arms is the new MLB model which Stearns, Mendoza & Hefner realize and have built with this METS pitching staff as-is…Fans are stuck in the old paradigm of starter, mid-relief, set-up relief & closer model…I estimate METS Team Pitching as-is will end up top 3 in MLB in 2025…p.s. LAD won it all employing this strategy…So, there's that

  4. Everyone’s so surprised about Clay Holmes getting opening day. Ryan’s been saying it since February. Great job dude.
