Description
The New York Mets kick off the 2026 MLB season with a formidable starting rotation, featuring six reliable pitchers. Left-hander Sean Manaea, at 34, wont start immediately, instead joining the rotation in a piggyback role. Manager Carlos Mendozas strategy allows for flexibility, with Manaea potentially handling significant innings. The teams approach, skipping a traditional six-man rotation, is praised for keeping pitchers fresh. Manaeas impressive spring performance aligns with this plan, setting the stage for an adaptable rotation throughout the season.
