Part of the New York Mets’ offseason philosophy seems to be shaking up the roster in as many places as possible.

Having moved on from longtime Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo and signed reliever Devin Williams to a three-year contract, New York is well on its way to hitting the reset button. Meanwhile, the starting rotation is the most obvious agenda item they’ve yet to tackle.

Given that the starters collectively collapsed in the second half, one might think that the Mets would need to focus solely on additions to the rotation. But a move that’s often been rumored so far this offseason is trading someone away, and one baseball writer believes that will happen this week at the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings.

On Sunday, Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report predicted that the Mets would move on from Kodai Senga, who has two years remaining on a five-year, $75 million contract, before the end of the winter meetings on Wednesday.

“(New York) will trade away Kodai Senga, who has two years and $30M remaining on his deal and who ended this past season in Triple-A after a disastrous run through the first six weeks of the second half,” wrote Miller.

“While the Mets might be done with Senga, there should be quite a bit of interest in a very reasonably priced pitcher with a career ERA of 3.00 and career K/9 of 10.1. We’ll get semi-specific here and say he lands with one of the non-Seattle teams in the AL West, all of whom have rotation needs and probably not enough room in their budget to sign a Valdez or a Suárez.”

It would be a quick reversal of fortunes for Senga, who has been a fan favorite for his three years in Queens, to be traded after a rough three-month stretch. But the stretch really was that rough, as he had a 6.56 ERA and 22 walks in 35 2/3 innings after the All-Star break, which also leaves out his demotion to Triple-A.

Senga frankly doesn’t cost that much for a starting pitcher in today’s game, and moving on from him is a real risk if he regains his form from the first half of this past year.

However, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. It wouldn’t be at all surprising at this point to see the Mets cut bait.
