Yes the Mets need a pitcher . Yes more then they need a left fielder. Everyone always says pitching wins. Well with everyone behind Santana having a sub par year do to injuries or being clueless the Mets have a challenge. There is no guarantee the Mets can sign a guy like Lackey if the Angels dont sign him.
Mr. Sherman in the NY Post brings up 3 pitchers the Mets should try to obtain 1 of them. JEREMY GUTHRIE , Gil Meche and Ervin Santana.
Honestly I think Santana stays so I really thing they have no shot at him. He would be a nice catch given his age is only 26.
Guthrie had a horrible year and that is the focus of the story of picking up someone cheap while there down with upsides. Guthrie gave a ridiculous amount of homers but some of those wold stay in Citi Field.
The 31 year old Meche too me is intriguing. Of course he is coming off an injured year. He signed a 5 year deal for 55 million and is still owed 22M. The first 2 years for the Royals he had an ERA under 4.
To work out a trade for him might not be something the Mets can do but he would cost the Mets alot less if they did.
