Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports Senga is “extremely available,” with multiple executives expecting a winter trade.
  • The front office is reassessing veteran roles to reshape the rotation for durability and flexibility, and a deal may require New York to cover part of the salary.
  • Senga is in year three of a five-year, $75 million contract, owed about $15 million annually through 2027 with a 2028 club option.
  • The right-hander opened 2025 with a 1.47 ERA through 13 starts before a hamstring injury, then struggled after returning, including a stint in Triple-A Syracuse.
  • Bleacher Report floated the Rays as a buy-low destination, citing Tampa Bay’s outfield depth and the Mets’ need in that area, though no agreement has been reached.
