00:00We're breaking down the tea that Adam Adovino spilled on Carlos Mendoza, the Mets bullpen, and of course, Brandon Nimmo.
00:08We're also going to talk about if Kodai Senga should be dealt out of flushing.
00:13Let's talk with Tyler Ward, your favorite Mets content creator.
00:17Wardy, haven't seen you for a long time, my man.
00:19Let's get straight into all this news that's been breaking about the Mets.
00:23It was reported Tuesday that Kodai Senga is extremely available for trade as the Mets look to revamp the starting rotation.
00:33Are you in or are you out with dealing Senga?
00:37Oh, absolutely in.
00:39It's not a question as to if the Mets should trade him, but when they're going to trade him.
00:43There are currently at least eight plus teams in his trade market right now,
00:48and that is thanks to people that have relayed information my way over the past 48 hours.
00:52That certainly are in on the know, and it's telling that Senga is going to be traded because the Mets, as we all know,
00:58had everything imaginable go wrong for the rotation in 2025, so much so that even Kodai Senga,
01:04who was once this coveted ace in this Mets rotation going back to his breakout first year in Queens back in 2023,
01:11has really been a show of himself, not so much because of performance, but more so because of the lack of health and availability.
01:18Senga looked fantastic to begin the 2025 season for the Mets, but as soon as he went down with yet another ailment there in June,
01:25he was a show of himself once he returned from injury, and he was so bad that the Mets decided to send him down in the minor leagues
01:31where he finished the year in the minor leagues.
01:33That was even in attendance for potentially the last ever game he pitched in the Mets organization there
01:38against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.
01:40And Senga, the biggest problem with him is not only how meticulous of a pitcher he is, but this is the type of guy that needs things his way,
01:47not so much how everyone else goes about their operation when getting the best out of a pitcher and their health.
01:53And because of that, David Stearns looks like he's pretty much had enough of one Kodai Senga who needs a six-man rotation,
01:59needs this kind of special treatment.
02:01And in order for the Mets to upgrade a rotation that heading into next season right now has eight pitchers under contract
02:07that are expected to impact the club, they have to make roster room.
02:10And out of their current veteran options, Senga is far and away the most appealing via trade.
02:15His ceiling is as good as an ace-caliber pitcher, but his floor is as good as someone who couldn't even be in the Mets rotation.
02:22So not only does he have plenty suitors, but again, the likelihood of Senga being traded is almost a near certainty at the time of his talking right now.
