Padres, Michael King trade ‘remain in play’: 5 landing spots

New York Mets

The Mets do not have a lot of proven commodities in their starting rotation. Sean Manaea will return after a career year and so will Kodai Senga after only making one start during the 2024 regular season. The hope is Frankie Montas can bounce back and David Peterson continues to excel, but neither pitcher is guaranteed to have success. King would be one of the most reliable pitchers in New York’s rotation and could be their ace by the end of the season.
