Mets itcher Kodai Senga pitches during sroing camp. <\/p>\n
Do the New York Mets<\/a> still have a need for Kodai Senga? It appears that the 33-year-old righty is fully healthy to start the season, which might be a great chance for the Mets to capitalize on his trade value.<\/p>\n Kodai Senga has made two starts this season, and they\u2019ve been two quality ones, as Senga has racked up 11.2 innings pitched and just four earned runs in the early going of 2026.<\/p>\n However, a recent mock trade idea by SI.com\u2019s Ryan Shea features<\/a> the Mets linking with the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> in a deal that would move Senga to Toronto for a strong prospect package.<\/p>\n More MLB<\/a> on Heavy: Braves-Angels Trade Pitch Lands 37-Home Run Slugger for Didier Fuentes + Two Prospects<\/a><\/p>\n Should the Mets Trade Kodai Senga? GettyMets pitcher Kodai Senga pitches against the Atlanta Braves<\/a>.<\/p>\n Per Ryan Shea, here is a trade package that the Blue Jays might offer for Kodai Senga:<\/p>\n \u201cBlue Jays Acquire:<\/p>\n RHP Kodai Senga<\/p>\n Mets Acquire: SS JoJo Parker, LHP Ricky Tiedemann, LHP Johnny King\u201d<\/p>\n Considering the Blue Jays\u2019 starting staff is a bit injured at the moment, they might be inclined to pull off a trade for a starter.<\/p>\n However, the Mets are likely reluctant to offload Kodai Senga at this moment.<\/p>\n There were rumors during the offseason that Senga might be moved, but those reports never further devloped. Kodai Senga signed a five-year, $75 million contract before pitching in MLB, and carries a flat 3.00 ERA over 54 total starts. The only issue surrounding Senga has been his injury status, but again, for now at least, he appears to be healthy.<\/p>\n As for the prospect haul that Ryan Shea proposes the Mets would get in return, that\u2019s what makes this mock trade so enticing, because JoJo Parker and Ricky Tiedemann project to be MLB stars in the future.<\/p>\n GettyKodai Senga of the New York Mets could be on the move in a trade to this AL East team.<\/p>\n More MLB on Heavy: Craig Counsell Reveals Seiya Suzuki Season Debut Date Amid Knee Sprain<\/a><\/p>\n Mets\u2019 2026 Rotation Outlook<\/p>\n The MLB is in full swing, so sorry Mets fans, trade rumors are going to come pouring in due to New York\u2019s trade habits.<\/p>\n Kodai Senga is currently an option in the Mets rotation, so for now, they don\u2019t have any reason to trade him.<\/p>\n Is that subject to change in the future? Absolutely.<\/p>\n Here is why Shea believes it could be a good move for the Mets:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Mets would make this trade because, especially if they become sellers at the trade deadline, they can turn a short-term ace into multiple high-upside prospects to rebuild or restock their farm system. By trading Kodai Senga, they acquire Ricky Tiedemann, JoJo Parker, and Johnny King, a mix of top pitching and positional talent with future MLB and fantasy impact.\u201d<\/p>\n Heavy on Mets has non-stop Mets coverage during the 2026 season.
