Sean Manaea and David Peterson show that the Mets can’t just stay the course
The New York Mets' left-handed pitchers, David Peterson and Sean Manaea, have struggled, with a combined 6.54 ERA across 52.1 innings. The team's poor performance has raised questions about whether to keep or replace them, given their significant major league service time.
The New York Mets' recent loss highlighted the team's pitching struggles, particularly with David Peterson and Sean Manaea. Peterson has thrown 30.1 innings with a 6.53 ERA, while Manaea has thrown 22.0 innings with a 6.55 ERA. Together, they account for 19.4% of the Mets' innings. The team must decide whether to keep or replace them, as they can no longer be optioned to the minors due to their service time. The Mets could place them on the injured list or designate them for assignment, but both options have implications. Replacing Manaea with a reliever like Austin Warren could be an upgrade. Tobias Myers might be stuck in a long reliever role, despite being a potential starter. The team's upper minor league pitching prospects, such as Jonah Tong and Jack Wenninger, may be considered for future call-ups.
