Mets linked to reunion with Luis Severino.<\/p>\n
The New York Mets<\/a> are in win-now mode, and the team could look to upgrade its rotation this season.<\/p>\n New York acquired Freddy Peralta this offseason to be the team\u2019s ace, but the team could use another impact starter for the playoffs. With that, MLB<\/a> analyst Zachary D. Rymer named the Mets as a potential fit for Athletics starter Luis Severino.<\/p>\n \u201cThe A\u2019s have been busy locking up their best young players ahead of their move to Las Vegas in 2028, but Luis Severino doesn\u2019t fit into those plans,\u201d Rymer wrote<\/a>. \u201cHe might only stick around for the rest of this season. The odds of it being a playoff year for the A\u2019s are slim. That offense is dangerous, but Severino is part of a badly undermanned pitching staff. Hence, why FanGraphs\u00a0only gives the team a 9.4 percent chance of playing in October.<\/p>\n \u201cSeverino\u2019s surplus value suggests he isn\u2019t worth what he\u2019s 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. 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. Potential Landing Spots: Atlanta Braves, Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, New York Mets.\u201d<\/p>\n Severino pitched for the Mets in 2024 and is a two-time MLB All-Star. The right-hander has a player option for $22 million<\/a> next season, so he could become a free agent, which is why the Athletics may move on from him.<\/p>\n Severino a Popular Trade Chip<\/p>\n With the Athletics unlikely to compete for a playoff spot this season, Severino will be a popular trade chip.<\/p>\n The right-hander is a solid No. 3 starter on a playoff team. And the cost to acquire him won\u2019t be as high, which is why several teams will be in on him.<\/p>\n Severino also has shown he can pitch in the playoffs, as he\u2019s made 13 starts in the postseason, going 2-5 with a 4.62 ERA<\/a>.<\/p>\n The right-hander\u2019s name was mentioned as someone who could be traded this offseason by ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel. So, if his name was already being mentioned this offseason, Severino\u2019s name should come up ahead of the trade deadline.<\/p>\n Mets Rotation Looks Solid<\/p>\n Entering the season, New York had plenty of question marks about its rotation, but to begin the season, it looks solid.<\/p>\n The Mets set their rotation as Freddy Peralta,\u00a0David Peterson,\u00a0Nolan McLean,\u00a0Clay Holmes, and\u00a0Kodai Senga, while Sean Manaea is in the bullpen. The rotation was something manager Carlos Mendoza was impressed with after spring training.<\/p>\n \u201cSix guys throwing the ball really well,\u201d Mendoza said<\/a>. \u201cAnd we were pretty honest with all of them at the beginning of camp. If everyone was healthy, we were going to have to make some tough decisions and one of them was going to be pitching in that type of role.\u201d<\/p>\n However, New York still could look to upgrade its rotation for a potential deep playoff push.<\/p>\n The Mets are tied for the fourth-best odds of winning the World Series at +1400.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCole Shelton<\/a> Cole Shelton covers the NHL, MLB and Cleveland Browns for Heavy.com.
