I don't think they will be in the six man rotation all season. I think it will be more of a swingman role, depending on off days. Maybe get 15-20 starts for the season.

I don't think you need both a swingman and a long man. I guess we'll see.

There are many things in life that I do not comprehend. One of them is why starting pitchers, who are pitching fewer innings per start than ever before, need an extra day of rest.
You are right on 6 man rotation. No need when there are off days.

As they're going with the 6 man rotation I think Peterson is safe.

1. Senga
2. Manaea
3. Peterson
4. Montas
5. Holmes
6. Blackburn/Canning/Megill

Losers of #6 go to pen as long man in that Trevor Williams role. The other I'm not so sure. If it's Megill he might be better in a setup role.

I'm also not sure if Blackburn will be fully healthy to begin the season unless I missed something on that.
I'd breakup the lefties.

2.Senga
3.Peterson
4.Montas
5.Holmes

Frankie Montas to be shutdown for a significant time.
Update from DiComo: Shutdown for 6-8 weeks. Then he begins his personal spring training. So he will open the season on the IL and remain there for at least a month.

Presumably this guy needed to pass a physical before signing his deal? Suspect due diligence on this one.

Who would have guessed Montas to the IL ?🤔

Does Stearns go after some more Griffin Canning basement bargain types or could we see a Jose Quintana reunion?

Isn't this why the Mets have so many starting pitching options? It was inevitable someone would be hurt, Montas was just the biggest possibility on the list.

Vladdy Jr's self-imposed deadline for an extension with the Blue Jays has come and gone. He is headed for free agency, or at least he says he is.

I continue to believe that for the Mets, Vladdy is Plan A. For practical purposes the Mets gave Alonso a one year contract, which I believe was by design.

In a it ain’t my money message board dream , Pete becomes DH at 28 for 4 years plays 1B 2 games a week and Vladdy 9 -360 and plays 1B 5 games a week

Forget NIL. As Mets fan you should have to attend at least 3-5 games if you live within 120 miles of Citi.

I still believe Pete will be a Met for life. Fan base and teammate pressure to resign him this year indicates that to me. Soto said that Pete’s name was often brought up in his negotiations and played a role in him coming here to have that protection.

Will be interesting to see how much $ could influence Vladdy to become a DH or will he go the Rafael Devers route

Coming from the Shore, I just don’t want to drive.

Bus trip or boat and I’m there. Train is too involved.

My problem with Vlad is that he will want a monster long term deal. He already had to go and lose major weight one year and I would be afraid if he gets a lifelong type of deal, he let's his body go and will be a DH along with Soto in a few years. I would rather have Pete for the next 3 years on a manageable contract that wont kill us long run vs taking such a gamble on Vlad that could be a disaster after 3 years.

When you even just take what would be a very average year for each guy
1. Lindor .270 100 runs 25 HR 100 RBI 25 SB
2. Pete .240 100 runs 40 HR 100 RBI
3 Soto .280 OBP 420 100 runs 30 HR 90 RBI
4 Vladdy .300 100 Runs 30 HR 100 RBI
5 vientos .260 80 runs 25 HR 90 RBI
6 Nimmo . 275 .380 OBM 85 runs 20 HR 75 RBI
7 Alvarez .240 60 runs 20 HR 70 RBI

Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
