There could be discussions and rumors about making starting rotation upgrades for the New York Mets<\/a> come August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of now, Freddy Peralta is under contract for just one year<\/a>, and the organization is in win-now mode. Essentially, anything less than a World Series title is a failure.<\/p>\n

As always, there will be a handful of arms available, but making the right move could surge the club into a deep postseason run. What the Mets won’t do is make a trade just for the sake of making one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer<\/a> tabs the NL East club as a potential landing spot for a two-time All-Star who made 31 starts for the Mets in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mets could target Luis Severino\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luis Severino’s tenure with the Athletics<\/a> is not turning out the way he probably expected<\/a>. Still, his three-year, $67 million contract with the A’s is the largest guaranteed deal in franchise history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Severino is a likely trade candidate, and Rymer lists the Mets, Atlanta Braves<\/a>, and Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> as three clubs who could use his services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Severino’s surplus value suggests he isn’t worth what he’s being paid, and there is some truth to that. He only had a 4.54 ERA last year. His strikeout rate deteriorated to only 6.9 per nine innings,” wrote Rymer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“His stuff is still good, though, and two splits from 2025 make him look salvageable: a 3.02 ERA away from Sacramento, and a 3.10 ERA in the second half.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now 32, Severino has plenty of big-game pitching experience, mostly during his eight years with the New York Yankees<\/a>. That could be valuable for the Mets down the stretch, but manager Carlos Mendoza could also consider using Jonah Tong or Christian Scott instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
