Mets pitching depth evaporated in 2025 and imploded early in 2026, so a sturdier rotation is the 2027 priority. Nolan McLean looks like a No. 1, but Andy Green wants Manaea's velocity back, and Tong still has to pitch his way in. Stearns has work to do. ⚾

Hayden Senger's 2026 stint was brief: one recall, seven games over 27 days as Luis Torrens' backup while Francisco Alvarez healed. He had a safety-squeeze bunt, a first MLB homer on May 30, and caught Christian Scott's first MLB win. Steady, if unmemorable. 🎧
